Michael McCabe doesn't take vacations-especially not after nearly losing his brother to a psychotic arsonist. But when an explosion rocks his enforced getaway in Tahiti, the off-duty SWAT officer is pulled into a crisis that looks like far more than bad luck.
Alex Kessler came to the islands to scatter his late wife's ashes-a final step in a grieving process that's consumed him for a year and a half. The last thing he expects is to be swept into danger . . . or into the guarded orbit of a man like Michael.
When the threat follows them back home to Seattle, survival means trust-and what began as a single violent incident spirals into something deeper: secret files, hidden agendas, and a classified operation known only as Project Asphodel.
As the danger escalates, so does their connection-raw, unexpected, and impossible to ignore. Sometimes what happens in Tahiti doesn't stay there. Sometimes, it follows you home.
