Coral Bay

Michael Bennett was once a rising star in the fight against overdevelopment and the environmental decline of South Florida, until he was betrayed by a trusted partner and lost everything. Now living on a sailboat in Key West, he's traded ambition for simplicity-that is, until an old friend offers him a shot at redemption.

In the sun-soaked Virgin Islands, Michael is tasked with untangling a stalled marina project in environmentally fragile Coral Bay, St. John. It's the kind of challenge he was made for-but this time, the stakes run deeper than just red tape.

The mysterious death of an old friend-and a leading voice in opposition to the very project Mike is now working on-casts a long shadow. And as local resistance builds, Michael is drawn into a web of shady executives, island politics, and personal conflict that has him questioning the project, his loyalties, and even the woman he finds himself falling for.

Forced to dig deeper, Mike comes across a stranger and an FBI agent who reveals a truth that changes everything.

Now Caught between redemption and ruin, Michael must decide: is he here to revive his career-or to fight for something much bigger?

To save Coral Bay-and himself-he'll have to confront not only the present, but the ghosts of his past.

This is more than an island mystery, it's an Epic adventure of romance, crime, corruption and murder Mike never saw coming.

And you won't believe how it ends!
