Becca Malone is a fraud investigator freelancing in The Bahamas and searching for the truth behind her father’s disappearance twenty-five years ago. When Becca’s source leaves her with only a few clues, her plan to follow the trail of breadcrumbs through the Caribbean is stonewalled after her small sailboat disappears in a ball of flames.

Unknown to her, Sebastian Forde is a former Antiguan drug lord grieving a catastrophic loss for which he holds himself responsible. He bargains with God, whom he finds isn’t listening, driving Forde to battle a sense of abandonment and his own declining mental stability. His seething rage narrows his vision as he sheds everyone and everything that ever mattered to him and only the final goal remains: find Becca Malone.

Now, Becca has to learn how to stay alive, discover her father’s fate, and win over the man who has stayed at her side through discovery and disaster. Join Becca on this island-hopping, exciting romp through warm waters and white sand as she discovers the many faces of paradise.

Meet Jeffrey Pentz

Ever since he first stood on a Florida beach at age six and faced the flat blue edge of the Atlantic, Jeffrey has wondered what was out there. And in thirty years as a professional U.S. Army soldier and Federal law enforcement officer, he often looked people in the eyes and wondered what was in there.

He combines these passions in the explosive new Antilles series, fusing island escapism with suspense and romance while following Becca Malone through the islands of The Bahamas and the Caribbean.

When not visiting the islands in his imagination and recording what he sees, he spends time bringing dishonor to the great game of golf and obsessing over his next impractical home improvement project.

Jeffrey lives with his wife in a quiet Louisiana town, and they have two adult children and two pugs named Amber and Charlie. The pugs, not the kids. The closest he has lived to the islands is West Palm Beach, Florida. But hey, anything is possible.
