Shadows in Calusa Cove
(2026)(The second book in the Aegis Network: The Everglades Division series)
A novel by Jen Talty
In the shadows of Calusa Cove, the past doesn’t sleep—it waits.
Trent Mallor has spent years convincing himself he’s finally steady—running his gator farm, keeping his head down, and honoring his late mother’s wish that he stop taking reckless chances. He’s a man clawing his way toward peace after a lifetime of close calls. But when strangers start shadowing him through the Glades and shots ring out near his boat, that fragile calm shatters. His father died two decades ago waiting to testify against a domestic terrorist cell—or so Trent’s always believed. Now, someone’s using him to draw out the ghosts of that case, and every instinct he has says it’s only a matter of time before the past bites back.
Dovelynn Quinn knows trouble when it calls, and Trent Mallor has always been exactly that. When he turns to her for help, she tells herself it’s just another job: assess the threat, keep him breathing, don’t get attached. As part of the Aegis Network, she’s trained to see patterns in chaos—but nothing about Trent Mallor follows the rules. The closer they get to the truth, the harder it is to tell where the danger ends and desire begins.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
