After settling an old score in Texas, the last thing Reid Stone wants is to have her vacation on the Outer Banks of North Carolina interrupted.

As soon as she settles down on the deck of her oceanfront rental, she's thrown into the middle of a drug ring and a human trafficking ring, plus-as described by the local sheriff-a growing date rape problem.

Discovering clue after clue, Reid eventually makes a plan. Deal with these criminals like she prefers to deal with them: quick, deadly, and with the red rage of vengeance, both honed from her past and earned with her blood.
