Now, she’s his only mission.Retiring from the U.S. Coast Guard and moving to Hawai’i with three JSOC teammates was supposed to be a fresh start for Cooper Harris. Running a K9 unit with the Brotherhood Protectors was meant to be challenging — but not lethal. Then their latest op drops them into the heart of a human trafficking case, and suddenly, Cooper is back in the crosshairs. The last thing he expects is to run into DEA Agent Nova Martin — the woman he hasn’t been able to forget.A handful of first dates shouldn’t have left such a lasting impression, but Nova is impossible to shake. Now, she’s been temporarily reassigned to the Big Island to track down a new drug ring, and Cooper isn’t sure if this is fate… or a disaster waiting to happen. He’s ready to take the risk — until Nova’s mission goes sideways, putting her at the center of a dangerous conspiracy and a target for enemies she can’t see.With her life and career on the line, Cooper and his team refuse to stand down. The Brotherhood Protectors can’t be bought, and neither can his loyalty to the woman who’s stolen his thoughts for far too long. Because this is one command Cooper won’t disobey — protect Nova at all costs… and fight for the future neither of them saw coming. less
