Erica Lane came to Tampa for a summer reset. Sun, yachts, pretty drinks, rich men acting reckless, and enough beach heat to make her forget every bad decision waiting back home.
Then her best friend Sarai Fredericks disappears after an exclusive yacht party.
Then Erica realizes the video on her phone captured a murder.
Now everybody with money, power, and a private dock wants her quiet.
June Calloway is the kind of man women should admire from a distance. Handsome, controlled, dangerous, and tied to one of Tampa’s most feared crime families, he runs the coast with a smile that feels expensive and a temper he keeps dressed in linen. He finds Erica after someone tries to turn the bay into her grave, and from that moment on, her life belongs to a game she never meant to play.
June says he can protect her.
Erica believes him.
That might be the most dangerous part.
As yacht parties turn into crime scenes and every clue pulls Erica deeper into Tampa’s underworld, the heat between her and June becomes impossible to ignore. He never planned to fall for a woman with evidence powerful enough to start a war. She never planned to trust a man who could be connected to the secrets that almost got her killed.
In paradise, love comes with enemies, and once June decides Erica is his, the city learns exactly how deadly summer can get.
Sunset Cartel is a beachy dark romance crime novella packed with yacht parties, dangerous desire, Black mafia drama, deadly secrets, and a love story hot enough to burn through Tampa Bay.
