Reese Conlon's much anticipated family leave is only two weeks away, and nothing is going to stand in the way of her being at her wife's side for the upcoming birth--not even the summer crowds in Provincetown, a new rookie cop with a hero complex, and a cruise ship at anchor in the harbor with a reported outbreak of a mysterious illness.

Andy Champlain might be a rookie cop, but she was raised by a family of cops, and she's ready to take on any challenge, if she only gets the chance. With a disaster brewing in Provincetown Harbor, a journalist who'll do anything for a story, and sexy summer PA, Laurel Winter, at the local clinic, she's about to have all the excitement she can handle.

Before long, Reese, Tory, Laurel, and Andy are caught up in the gathering storms of an epidemic that could threaten all their lives.
