| Along the California coast – Present Day Everyone in town knows Helen Lamb as the reliable owner of a handyman service. An elderly man she has grown fond of has an unusual request for her one day. He just found out he is dying and wants to go out on his terms. He wants Helen to find an assassin to kill him. Did he know that Helen has the contacts to get it done? Did he know that Helen’s real name is Rowan Winterbourne, and she has been hiding from the one man she intends to kill when she gets the opportunity? Or rather, finish the job she started several years ago because she wants revenge for the killing of her mother and stepfather. Rowan makes contact with someone to kill the elderly man as requested. That night, a stranger shows up on her doorstep at the remote lighthouse she lives in. His name is Joe Grantham, and he must be the assassin, but why is he here? And why is Rowan letting her guard down? Joe insists that he knows what Rowan wants to do—kill Gregory Torval—because he needs her help to get onto Raptor Island. Rowan agrees and later learns that Joe isn’t the hired assassin as the elderly man was killed while she was having sex with Joe. The two arrive on Raptor Island and it is like a world of its own. Torval rules with an iron fist and if you don’t go along with him, he will punish you. He is taken with Rowan. When she agreed to come with Joe, she was under the impression that she would be introduced as Helen, but Joe tells everyone that she is Rowan. Will that put a target on her? It is like a crazy circus on the island with Torval’s wife dressed like a black widow and various women trying to get in bed with the man. It's his birthday weekend so it is a big celebration with celebrities and plenty of women. Joe told Rowan that he is there to steal back an address book belonging to an elderly woman. He doesn’t say why but she is glad to go along with his ruse as it gave her an opportunity to get on the island and finish the work she had once started: killing Torval and his evil enforcer.
