She’s a sparkly Hollywood actress out of her element in the rainy Pacific Northwest. He’s the sexy, grumpy hotel owner she turns to for help when the paparazzi threaten to take away everything she’s got. Actress Domino West’s life is picture perfect. Until it isn’t.

Find the perfect location to shoot her next movie—and escape the relentless gaze of the paparazzi. Grumpy, sexy, exasperating Forest Russo is determined to fix up the Driftwood Inn, and he’s hell-bent on doing it on his own. But with tourist season only months away, he and his sister, Fern, are up against the clock—and the wet, gray winter in the Pacific Northwest.

Sparks fly, passions flare, and Domino begins to realize this charming little island—and its inhabitants—are imprinted on her soul. With Domino's producing partners breathing down her neck, she’s got to work fast—not just to save her career but because the longer she stays, the more she doesn't want to leave.

In 1972, gambling is on the horizon for Atlantic City. Joey "the Gimp" Giampietro, a fortyish Mafioso in the Vecchio Crime Family of Philadelphia, and Johnny "GaGa" Bellino from New York, have plans-big plans-to get themselves a piece of the action. Bellino's plan was simple. The Gimp made it complex. Amid the bustling streets of South Philadelphia the Gimp slips in and out of a revengeful psychotic funk. The abandonment by his mother at a young-age left the Gimp vulnerable to the abuse of his foster father-an original capo in the Vecchio Crime Family. In an attempt to settle old scores first, the Gimp never contemplates the rippling effect that his actions could have on his life. Finally, his double-dealing quest for satisfaction backfires into a fight for survival. As more and more people become entangled in the web of the criminal subculture perpetuated by the Gimp and his gang, many contemplate killing this fearsome rogue Mafioso. The most unlikely one will succeed. Inevitably everyone who falls prey to the Gimp's contrivances is forced to seek resolution in the labyrinth of his or her conflicted lives. Some find sorrow and pain. Others find hope and love. A few find tragic death. The lucky ones get another chance.
