Kathleen Cassidy's transition from uptight Boston babe to barefoot island warrior begins when her newly inherited sleek, go-fast boat explodes. Soon the intrepid redhead is questioning her father's death under the watchful eyes of a rugged Miccosukee fishing guide who is definitely not her type, an attractive marine archeologist who definitely is her type and perhaps...a killer. Cassidy is plainly a fish out of water and way down on her luck when she arrives on Paradise Key to claim her inheritance, a cool o-fast boat and a battered old bar called the 'Gator Hole. Items bequeathed by the father she barely remembers, a man her mother referred to as "Wild Bill" - when she was being kind. Joe Scipio, ICE undercover agent and full-blooded Florida Miccosukee lives on his boat docked behind the 'Gator Hole. Although he'd promised her father to look after Cassidy, he considers the headstrong beauty supremely unsuited for the Keys lifestyle. Struggling with his attraction to her, nevertheless, Joe constantly urges her to return to Boston where she belongs. To no avail. Mystery, romance, humor and a cast of wacky Keys characters come together in this wildly entertaining novel!
