Slip Into The Night

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

Retired Navy SEAL Commander "Kip" Hendricks and his team, arrive on Hartz Island located in the San Juan Islands in Washington State, to monitor cargo ships arriving from Indonesia, suspected of smuggling young jihad terrorists. All the ships must pass Hartz Island as they head to their Pacific Northwest ports from Vancouver BC to Seattle WA. Holed up at Eagle's Nest Lodge, the joint task force of Americans and Canadians strategize their mission. Out on the waters, tracking the ships, Kip and his team discover additional smuggling activity surrounding the islands. What appears to be an innocent out-of-the-way island isn't! 

At forty-five years old, Jeannie Rogers is at a crossroads in her life. After the murder of her Seattle police officer husband, Jeannie followed her dream and opened her cozy café on Hartz Island but now her CPA brother wants her to sell her failing café before she is left with nothing. Trying to make ends meet, Jeannie gladly accepts the week-long catering job at Eagle's Nest Lodge. Unbeknownst to Jeannie, this week would be a pivotal point in her life, but also Kip Hendricks. From the moment Jeannie falls into Kip's arms while delivering her pies, both worlds are turned upside down. Jeannie learns that if she never steps outside of her very tightly controlled box, and takes a risk with love and life, it will be boring and predictable. Kip Hendricks realizes he left his heart on Hartz Island, and returns to claim his heart and love.

The San Juan Islands melt into the Gulf Islands of British Columbia, attracting eclectic residents, like Montana Worthington, resident psychic and free thinker, but also those who like to live outside the law.
SLIP INTO the NIGHT is the first book in the Hartz Island series.
