Among them are Peyton s contentious cousins, who are outraged that they didn t inherit the resort, as well as a powerful group of land developers who have been eyeing the coveted beachfront property. It s soon apparent to Peyton that their efforts are being sabotaged, but she refuses to let the threats scare her until she s nearly killed.
