Deception in Calusa Cove
(2026)(The third book in the Aegis Network: The Everglades Division series)
A novel by Jen Talty
In a town this small, everyone knows your name. The dangerous ones know a lot more than that.
Sterling Fox left the CIA with a clean record, a new job, and a small Florida town that was supposed to be the quieter chapter of his life. He's good at reading people, better at keeping secrets, and smart enough to know that coincidences don't exist in his world. When a familiar face shows up in Calusa Cove, Sterling doesn't buy the vacation story for a second—but he can't prove a thing. What he can't figure out is why the woman behind the bar is suddenly a lot more interested in his past than a bartender has any reason to be.
Juniper Solstice pours whiskey, remembers every face, and misses nothing. She's been in Calusa Cove long enough to know the rhythms of the town, the regulars, and the man who sits at the end of her bar like he owns it. Her job is simple—watch, listen, and report. Getting involved with Sterling was never part of the assignment. Neither was caring what happened to him.
In a town with no strangers, everyone is hiding something.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
