In Pine Harbor, corruption runs deep—and Joy O’Farrell’s about to dig it up.

After taking a bullet on the job, NYPD detective Joy O’Farrell retreats to Pine Harbor, a quiet coastal town with dark shadows and even darker secrets. When she discovers a coercion plot, Joy finds herself pulled into a far more dangerous game, one orchestrated by the crooked Judge William McCabe. But the deeper Joy digs, the clearer it becomes: McCabe didn’t act alone. And if he’s working with the man she suspects, she might just have the chance to finish the fight her father couldn’t win

Returning to Pine Harbor was never part of Joy O’Farrell’s plan.

After a near-fatal shooting sidelines her NYPD career, Joy O’Farrell returns to Pine Harbor—the coastal town she never wanted to see again, still controlled by the powerful Wallace family who ruined her father.

When she uncovers their latest criminal scheme, Joy sees a chance to clear his name and bring them down. But as she digs deeper, old wounds reopen, and she must decide how far she’s willing to go for justice—before the past swallows her.

Returning to the NYPD was supposed to be a fresh start.

But when Detective Joy O’Farrell receives a desperate message from Liam Beckett at Rikers Prison, everything changes.

Liam’s sister, Fiona, has vanished into the shadows of New York’s criminal underworld. Trapped between a ruthless enforcer and the city’s most feared crime boss, Fiona has a third target on her back after the mysterious death of her roommate: the NYPD. Now, Joy must toe the thinning line between duty and personal promise.

But it isn’t just the balancing act that worries her. All is not well within the precinct. As Joy uncovers the mystery surrounding Fiona, a killer gains inexplicable ground—made possible only by an insider leaking secrets.

Every truth comes with a cost. Now, Joy must decide who’s worth trusting—and who wants her dead.
