    About this ebook

    The future looks bleak for Sarah Wells and dozens of cats in her care. There’s no food to feed them. The rent on their shelter is overdue. Since Mrs. Templeton died, donations to Kitty Rescue dried up. The old woman’s love of cats inspired her to leave Sarah a multi-million dollar estate. But the money is gone, stolen by a murderous conman who is now cruising the Caribbean in his new yacht. Justin Graves is about to give him a choice: return the money or go down with the ship and swim with the sharks!
