Cat's efforts to secure her position as East Hampton's premier life coach are complicated by a string of murders that implicate a handsome local bad boy who has made her an unusual offer.

The only client Cat Cooper can find has been housebound for decades and claims to be the victim of a devasting [sic] curse. Then there's the matter of Detective Shepherd's intense jealousy over Maks Grinkov, the handsome bad boy who approaches Cat with an unusual offer she can't stop thinking about. Then a string of murders rocks the coastal community, landing Maks on the hook as the culprit. Digging into Maks's less-than-wholesome background, Cat questions if Detective Shepherd had an unwitting hand in a related homicide case after tangling with the wrong people. -- adapted from jacket
