Description

A quiet life on the shores of Lake Tahoe was supposed to be Rhys "Taylor" Taylor's reward for years spent chasing trouble across the world's roughest waters. A warm cabin. A brilliant wife. A loyal yellow Lab at their feet. And a six-month-old son whose laughter finally makes the past feel… distant.

Then a single text shatters the peace:

Taylor, it's Red. Need your help in N.O. Urgent. Seawind Shipping. Dark secrets. Can't trust anyone.

Red Hawkins—old shipmate, hard man, dependable to the bone—doesn't beg. He warns. And then he vanishes.

With Kat's razor-sharp instincts, Digger Graves' blue-collar grit, and Ted's uncanny sixth sense, Taylor heads into the humid shadows of New Orleans… straight into the orbit of Seawind Enterprises—a polished shipping giant with rot beneath its hull. What starts as a rescue becomes a collision with something far worse: weapons hidden behind "machine parts," cages disguised as storage rooms, and a trail of blood leading offshore to a fortress no one is meant to find.

Seawind's CEO, Vincent Kane, didn't build his empire by letting threats live.

Now Taylor and his crew are being hunted through crowded markets and back alleys, racing to decrypt the truth before it's buried—along with them.

Because if Red is still alive, time is running out.

And if Taylor's learned anything at sea…

Some storms don't pass.
You survive them— or you don't.
