The last thing he expects on his ship is the off-limits woman he can’t stop thinking about—his best friend’s daughter.

After a tough military career as a Navy SEAL, and a member of a covert Ghost Ops team, Lorenzo “Ren” Santoro now calls a research ship home. The ocean, very few people, and solitude…it’s all he needs.

Then as a favor to his best friend, he agrees to take a research team to sea to test a top-secret Navy project. He’s shocked to discover his best friend’s daughter is one of the scientists. The beautiful Halle Bradshaw who Ren once kissed, who ignites a powerful craving inside him. She’s too young, too innocent, and too off-limits.

When strange things start happening to Halle, Ren suspects she’s in danger…and he’ll do anything to keep her safe.

Marine biologist Halle loves the ocean, her work…and Ren Santoro. Being aboard his ship, she finally has the chance to show the stubborn man how good they could be together.

But someone is targeting the highly classified project she’s working on. One she can’t let fall into enemy hands.

The only person she can trust is Ren. Forced to abandon their ship, they will face the danger of the sea and the wilds of a jungle-covered island, all while being hunted by a relentless enemy.

Ren and Halle will no longer be able to hide from their white-hot desire or their demons. She’s determined to convince him to take a chance on love…but first, they have to survive.

Ren loves being out on the water. The solitude helps him deal with the things he did whilst serving in the military, the things that make him think he doesn’t deserve a HEA. His best friend, mentor, and recruiter had a daughter who he has known since she was a young child and he was a teenager. When they shared a kiss at her 20th birthday party, Ren realised his feelings for Halle were no longer brotherly or friendly!

Halle may be younger than Ren but she is smart, determined and knows who and what she wants. When her Marine Biology project leads her to spend time with Ren and his crew, she’s going to use every second of the time she has to make Ren see her as something other than his best friends daughter.

Add in some espionage, high seas adventure and being stranded/on the run and you have yourself a rollicking adventure. Ren thinks seeing him in action will put Halle off but she handles it with aplomb and she knows a move or two herself!

Can’t wait to meet more of the Ghost Ops guys and their HEA’s
