Synopsis

Tai Randolph has had enough of the dark and dangerous, and decides some time in Savannah offers an idyllic break. She can sell some of her gun shop's wares, attend a few battles, and even have a little romantic rendezvous with Trey - who has agreed to join her for a long weekend in her hometown. But her tattooed heartbreaker of an ex-boyfriend also shows up. He spins a tale of betrayal, deceit, and a stolen Civil War artifact that Tai agrees to help him recover. Suddenly, Trey's on the case too, representing a competing, rich client with eyes on the same prize. As the lovers square off against each other, Tai discovers that her complicated boyfriend makes an even more intriguing adversary....

About this title

From the Author:

You can judge this book by its cover, which has three bullets on it, because within this cover is the story of Tai Randolph, my intrepid heroine, a liberal feminist gunshop owner in Kennesaw, Georgia, where you are not only encouraged to own a weapon, you are required by law to do so.

(The book is fiction, but the law isn't -- look it up.)

This book also has stalkers, moonshiners, unreconstructed rebels, alligators, wolves, Grand Dragons of the KKK, kissing, cussing, killing, buried treasure, buried secrets, men in dress gray, women in hoop skirts, a little golf, a lot of suspicious behavior, and one very hot -- and very complicated -- ex-SWAT corporate security agent named Trey. He has a nine millimeter, a Ferrari, and a little frontal lobe rearrangement. He's also Tai's partner in both romance and crime solving. I hope you'll enjoy sharing this adventure with the two of them.
