Last Chance Key: A Women’s Domestic Suspense Novel by Sandra Bass Joines & Carol Wills Davison
Chanelle Bentley Radcliffe’s life looked perfect—a waterfront mansion on Long Island Sound, a glamorous lifestyle, and a husband who seemed too good to be true.
Until he wasn’t.
When Chanelle decides to make her life-long dream to design high-end women’s clothing come to life, she uncovers Hamilton’s betrayal— including a massive Ponzi scheme that’s left countless victims in it wake.
She’s fed up with his lies, thievery, and betrayal and swears to make him pay—TO TAKE HIM DOWN. She disappears into Witness Protection where her refuge is a weathered houseboat at Last Chance Key, a quirky, off-the-grid island guarded by a saltwater crocodile with a watchdog complex and a flamboyance of fiercely loyal flamingos.
As she hides from danger and prepares to testify, Chanelle discovers unexpected friendships, a chosen family, and a slow-burning connection with the U.S. Marshal assigned to protect her.
But the past isn’t finished with her—and danger is closer than she thinks.
Last Chance Key is a twisty, suspense-laced escape filled with heart, humor, and a heroine who refuses to stay silent.

Author Bio:
Sandra Bass Joines is the best-selling author of Shoe in the Road and the Blossom Inlet Series and is known for crafting emotionally rich women’s fiction laced with suspense, resilience, and second chances. Her novels center on courageous women navigating betrayal, love, loss, and personal transformation.
From her earliest days, Sandra was just as likely to be found solving mysteries with Nancy Drew and writing her own stories as she was shooting marbles in the dirt with neighborhood kids. That early love of storytelling followed her through life, culminating in her debut as a published author at sixty-five.
She loves the Rocky Mountains near her current home in the foothills near Denver, but she never strays far from the Gulf Coast beaches of her Florida roots.
When she began bouncing around ideas with longtime friend Carol Wills Davison, sparks flew. The two shared laughter, late-night texts, and countless creative brainstorms—ultimately bringing to life the gripping story of Chanelle Bentley Radcliffe.
Co-author and Colorado native Carol Wills Davison grew up on a farm east of Denver, where her parents raised cattle, chickens, and crops. Her rural roots nurtured her resilience and creativity—perfect traits for trying new things like co-authoring a novel.
Numerous grand champion state and county fair ribbons line her office wall for her winning fashion, quilt, machine embroidery, and crochet designs.
She currently lives near Denver where she enjoys spending time with her family, gardening, quilting, water sports, cooking, and designing her own fashions. We can’t leave out that she hula hoops daily!
