About the book: Book 2 of the No Name Key Series - A twisty, complex tale of one woman’s fight for survival on the Florida Keys.

After disposing of her vicious husband in the Great Depression, Elle Woodman returns to No Name Key, a crumbling house, and a woman who knows exactly what she did.

The 1935 Labor Day hurricane ushered Elle into a new life on No Name Key, safely washing Billy’s remains out to sea where he can never hurt her again. But Blanche loved Billy and suspects Elle of murdering him. And Blanche owns the lodge where Elle works.

When Blanche teams up with Nathan Foreman, who controls the vets building the Overseas Highway, Elle has two formidable enemies, One with the power to take her freedom and the other with the power to take her life..

And just when she sees a way out of poverty, a woman appears, as desperate for help as she was a year earlier. But now Elle has much to lose and so must ask herself…

…Of what use to gain the whole world and lose your soul
