| Plot Summary of Hurricane Bay |
|---|
"Sheila had a long trail of used men in her wake, so when she disappears from her home in the Florida Keys no one is surprised except her old friend Kelsey, who she'd invited down for a break. Kelsey presses to find Sheila, despite the warnings of Dane, a man with whom both Sheila and Kelsey have a history and the last person to see Sheila. Dane knows something he's not telling, and Kelsey tries to weasel it out of him, but ends up more involved than she ever meant to be again. And, the killer has decided to target her..."
