So what if he was a little—off? Her decision turns deadly, though, when she overhears him plotting her grandpa’s murder in a bid to take over the company. Fearing for her life, she turns to company pilot Ezra Chastain for help. But she never expected him to take her to Costa Rica and dump her with a surly former Navy SEAL. Ford Wagner left the SEALs in search of peace and quiet so he could heal. But his life took an unexpected turn when he and his ragtag band of military buddies agreed to some personal security jobs for friends. Now, it’s become a regular occurrence. So, when the pilot who saved his career asks him to shelter his boss from her murderous fiancé, Ford can’t say no. But the fiery heiress challenges him at every turn and makes him wish he could put her pretty butt on a plane back to the States. She also makes him wish for things he knows he shouldn’t. As danger looms, he must keep her safe, but can he resist his growing attraction to her? less

Edie Campbell didn’t understand why she let her friends talk her into this stuff. She’s content running her surf shop and living the quiet life in Costa Rica. There, she can keep her feelings locked away and pretend she hadn’t been through war. But when Dean comes to her and asks her to help his best friend with a stalker problem, her silly brain can’t say no. And she doesn’t even like Jordan MacDowell. Well, that’s not entirely true. She likes looking at him, and that’s a problem... moreEdie Campbell didn’t understand why she let her friends talk her into this stuff. She’s content running her surf shop and living the quiet life in Costa Rica. There, she can keep her feelings locked away and pretend she hadn’t been through war. But when Dean comes to her and asks her to help his best friend with a stalker problem, her silly brain can’t say no. And she doesn’t even like Jordan MacDowell. Well, that’s not entirely true. She likes looking at him, and that’s a problem. Because she doesn’t want a man. Doesn’t need one. Especially not one who, no matter how sexy and smart, attracts every breathing, straight woman on the planet. It wasn’t like Jordan asked for a stalker. Nor did he ask Edie to come pretend to be his girlfriend. So, he doesn’t understand why she’s so annoyed. She could have stayed in Costa Rica with her surfboard and pretend she’s not a living, breathing human being with feelings. But now that she’s here, he can’t help but want to push her out of her comfort zone. Not because it’s fun to watch her puff up like an angry kitten, but because he knows, despite her saying otherwise, she still hasn’t fully healed from her experiences in the Army. One of the perks of being a chick magnet is the ability to read a woman, and Edie Campbell has a depth of pain he wants to heal. He shouldn’t, because complicated relationships have never been his thing, but with Edie, he finds he doesn’t care. The longer she stays around, the more he wants to peel away the layers and find the true woman underneath. But as they grow closer, his stalker grows bolder. Can Jordan convince Edie they have something real, or will the danger keep them apart—permanently? less
