Delphine Lougheed’s retirement from a top-secret spy agency hasn’t been as relaxing as she’d hoped. In fact, she’s hardly had time to herself. But now things have slowed down enough she’s finally made good on her promise to find her recently divorced and unemployed granddaughter, Griffin Beckett, a job.
The job itself is nothing special, but the location—an exclusive Hawaiian club and resort owned by renowned film director Fausto Conte—sure is.
Delphine, Marge, and Marge’s new boyfriend Kenji Yamamoto (who’s also an ex-spy and Delphine’s best friend), fly to Hawaii to support Griffin and enjoy a fancy vacation. And Delphine devises a plan to get some peace and quiet: keep Marge and Kenji so busy with fun activities they’ll stay out of her hair.
But on their very first day, Kenji’s laptop gets stolen. It’s not just any laptop—this one’s owned by the people he and Delphine used to work for and is loaded with sensitive information. The two retirees need to find it before it falls into the wrong hands, but there’s a catch—to protect Marge, Kenji doesn’t want her to find out what he and Delphine are up to.
Searching for the missing laptop leads Delphine and Kenji on a hunt through their past, and Marge’s alienation threatens to throw her into the arms of a more than willing visiting movie star. To top it all off, a mysterious stranger wants to take Delphine on a date. But is he friend or foe? Not knowing proves to be more exciting than she cares to let on.
Will Delphine figure out a way to save Kenji’s reputation and his relationship with Marge? Is it time to bring Griffin into the espionage business? And will her new acquaintance turn out to be a help or a hindrance? Only one way to find out … read this book!
