The last time Jersey Barnes tried to quit her career as a
security specialist and leave home without a weapon, she
ended up in the middle of a high-stakes cover-up and a
scheme to steal millions from hardworking Americans. This
time her early retirement is for real. Friends threw her a
party to prove it. There was a cake and everything But out of the blue, her former handler shows up with
other ideas. When Jersey tells him she doesn’t want an
assignment---even if does come with an upfront hazard-pay
bonus---he reminds her of a clause in the contract she
signed back when she was first recruited to work for the
government: a pesky paragraph that says she can be
recalled into service at any time With boating and golfing plans on hold yet again, Jersey
straps on her weapon of choice and goes undercover to help
root out a terrorist threat---only to learn that another
more sinister plot is in the works. And things aren’t any
more relaxing at home, either. Just as she starts to
explore a steamy relationship with her hunky pub manager,
Ox, his ex-wife flies in from California to reclaim him.
