In Blood Orchid, Chief of Police Holly Barker returns to duty after the loss of her fiancé, aided by her dog Daisy and her father Ham.

Before Holly can settle, a friend’s home is riddled with bullets and a floating body is found in the Intracoastal Waterway. Holly links these incidents to the sniper deaths of two Miami businessmen and a federal‑agency evasive man, realizing the events may be tied to her own town of Orchid Beach. Partnering with an FBI agent, she follows clues to uncover a lucrative and deadly scam, testing her resolve in a town she thought was safe.
