The risks are mounting, even in paradise…

Navy SEAL Quinn Kennedy and his team are in Hawaii on assignment. His job is to lay low, test equipment in perfect working order, and pretend his career isn’t over. Being tasked by the Brotherhood Protectors to protect a bartender is the boredom-buster he needs.

Especially when the bartender is the woman he wants to take out on a date.

Dahlia Palmer has seen it all while tending bar: true love, broken hearts, sloppy drunks, tourists, and regulars. So, when counterfeit money shows up in the cash drawer, she has a suspect in mind.

Intent on finding the culprit, Dahlia is nearly caught. Quinn intervenes with a hot kiss and an offer to be her bodyguard-with-benefits while investigators flush out the dangerous criminal enterprise.

Quinn is confident about protecting Dahlia. But as they grow closer, he must choose whether to overcome old wounds or leave his heart behind. With her.

Quinn, Carter, Bowie and Flint are a Navy Seals team that discovered another team doing illegal things. Their CO decided to send them to Hawaii while the investigation is ongoing for their safety, something that would change all their lives.

Carter, Bowie and Flint have found love while Quinn has his eyes on the bartender Dahlia but won’t make a move. Quinn’s past is filled with people leaving him his mother left him in foster care at the age of five and the woman he was marrying left him at the altar. Quinn is convinced that a lasting relationship is something he will never have.

Dahlia has been nosing around men she suspects are up to no good and Quinn is asked to protect her. Quinn takes his duties very seriously, not letting Dahlia out of his site and moving into her home. That is when he decided to kiss her and finally let her know he was interested.

The men she was following retaliated by breaking into her garage, destroying the special seat of her motorcycle and messing with her gate and spray painting her house. They also left counterfeit money hoping to get her arrested, but it didn’t work. Thankfully Quinn and his buddies took care of everything.

Now more than ever Dahlia needs protecting from the men who are after her. Quinn and Dahlia grow closer, but he knows it will go nowhere, he and his buddies have a few weeks to reup, but his buddies don’t seem like they want to leave Hawaii and Quinn won’t sign up without his brothers. Having grown up with no family his buddies are now his family, and he wants to have the relationship they have but it is not in his future.

The counterfeiters are getting more brazen, and Quinn hopes they are caught before he leaves but leaving is not a sure thing. Everything changes when Dahlia finds herself in serious trouble and Quinn must consider a life without her.

Suspense, secrets, surprises and wonderful characters just like in all of Ms. Black’s books. If you are not familiar with her books, I highly recommend starting you won’t be sorry.
