Enter Florida Freddi and Missy Mudd, the dynamic duo of real estate known as the Bikini Real Estate team. Their latest sale to Jules Armand takes an unexpected turn when suspicions arise-is Armand truly who he says he is, or is he the notorious Russian scam artist Boris Nabokov? Tom, alias for former cop turned private investigator Rick Dante, is on the case, unraveling a web of deceit that intertwines with Freddi's secret life as Sabrina, agent for exotic dancers. But their investigations lead to a darker truth-a female trafficking ring operated by ruthless Russians.
As Freddi and Rick's paths collide, sparks fly in more ways than one, igniting a magnetic attraction despite their mutual suspicions. With a colorful cast of characters, including Boomer the horse and The Squid, their journey will have you holding on tight as you barrel towards a chaotic and uproarious showdown.

Review :
“Sit back, relax, and follow private investigator Rick Dante as he tries to figure out what the hell is going on. A fun, Florida caper.” —James O. Born, New York Times best-selling author
“Sizzling with Florida heat and razor-sharp humor, One Beach, Two Babes, and The Squid is a deliciously unpredictable romp. Prepare for a wild ride as a lazy beach day turns into a white-knuckle roller-coaster of suspense, wit, and unexpected alliances. In author Buck Buchanan’s world, the most dangerous real-estate deals aren't closed in the office, but on the sun-drenched shores of Crooked Foot Key.” —Paul Levine, author of the Jake Lassiter series
