Joe Traynor has fulfilled his obligation as the Interim President of The College of the Florida Keys and has been appointed as the Assistant Superintendent of the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. At 37, Joe is the youngest in history to serve in this position. His last 18 years have been filled with action, stopping the most horrific criminal groups in the United States. Now, his duties will be filled with days of administration, curriculum and planned events. Other than attending Brown University, Julie has never left the Florida Keys and is a true Conch. Bella, Joe and Julie’s newly adopted daughter, born to a Cuban immigrant, who passed away from a brain tumor, speaks more Spanish than English as a seven year old. Tillie will be left alone in Key Largo at age 70 but has a new friend in Ed Lansing. How will this new life, and new careers for both Joe and Julie work out? How will Bella acclimate to the great northeast? On top of that, as soon as he arrives, there is a threat to the Academy by white supremacists that is real. Follow the new life of the family as they adjust. There are more twists and unexpected turns day-to-day, culminating in a crisis of major proportion that could change the Academy forever unless Joe Traynor is able to save the day. What seems to be an idyllic life is anything but...
