Petite, fierce, and respected by the men who work for her, Daisy Connelly rules over her rare watermelon tourmaline mining operation in Newry, Maine, with an iron fist. But when profits start to plummet and the local sheriff turns a blind eye, Daisy knows something is amiss. Desperate to catch the thief and save her mine, she enlists the help of Samson Gray, a private investigator with a reputation for using his clients as bait.
