About the book

Mallory Hemingway: The Key West Adventure

Ready for a fresh start, Mallory Hemingway has decided to leave behind the drama of her small town and embrace the vibrant life of Key West. Her days will be filled with writing, exploring the lively bars on Duval Street, and avoiding any romantic entanglements... or so she believes. Taking on the role of nighttime caretaker at the Hemingway Home and Museum, Mallory is excited to begin her new chapter. With a free-spirited hippie best friend, a temperamental feline companion, and a charming scuba instructor who may be looking for more than just a diving partner, Mallory's life seems picture-perfect.

However, paradise comes with its own set of challenges. The museum gate keeps mysteriously opening, and Mallory is the one being blamed for the mishap. The drunken mutterings of a local pirate urge her to leave the island before it's too late. Just when she thinks things couldn't get any worse, a body is discovered in the iconic Hemingway pool, and Mallory finds herself caught up in a tangle of events with a handsome yet exasperating detective.

With her trusty sidekick and the supportive scuba instructor by her side, Mallory sets out to clear her name. From dealing with difficult coworkers to uncovering illicit dealings in the black market kitten trade to encountering a suspicious number of Hemingway doppelgangers, Mallory's dreamy new beginning quickly turns into a chaotic mess.

In this whirlwind of challenges, Mallory must navigate the murky waters of Key West. Will she sink or swim? If she's not careful, Mallory may find herself in over her head and struggling to stay afloat in the unpredictable tides of island life.
