"Kara Reynolds has a fan for life!"
Ali Hazelwood about Priestess
Forty-year-old Darby Hendricks has spent years rebuilding her life in the peculiar coastal Florida town of Tara Tides, known as Terror Tides to some. Divorced, quick with a joke, and devoted to her eccentric family, she is co-running her generations-old antique store with her sister, fueled mostly by stubborn optimism. When she spies two hot men arguing at a local gallery reception, the last thing she expects is to be caught between them and pulled into a criminal conspiracy decades in the making.
Miles is polished, attentive, and wants to help her business. Matt is a gruff Department of the Treasury agent who insists Miles is laundering cartel money through Darby's newest consignment deal. Darby dismisses Matt's warnings—and her attraction to him. She has enough on her shoulders when a true crime podcaster starts sniffing around the store, curious to know more about her imprisoned uncle's forged art scandal. But soon, Darby cannot deny signs that Miles, as well as the influx of gorgeous antiques his client wants to sell, might not be squeaky clean. Darby finds herself navigating the world of laundering money and organized crime, all the while juggling a zany family, a cold case investigation, an ex-husband who still wants to be friends, and the continual reappearance of Matt, reminding her Miles is dangerous.
When her loved ones are threatened, Darby must protect not only them but also the legacy of the store. She will have to decide which man deserves her heart—and whether she can escape a criminal empire before it silences her forever. With ruthless banter, spicy sweetness, and noir-tinged thrills, Porcelain invites readers on a sunny, suspenseful vacation.
