When he goes to investigate a blaring smoke alarm, the last thing he expects to find is Hollywood’s hottest actress…naked.
Deputy Sheriff Sawyer Lane likes the pace of life on Maui. After years as a Navy SEAL and in Ghost Ops, he likes that no one shoots at him. Coming to the island saved him. He still can’t sleep, but he’ll take the sun, sand, and solitude.
Then Oscar-winning actress Hollis Stanton rents the house next to his and torpedoes his solitude. When she sets her coffee machine on fire, he meant to help, not see every glorious inch of her from her russet-red hair to her red-painted toenails.
Soon, they’re running into each other everywhere, and it doesn’t take all of Sawyer’s finely-honed skills to know she’s in trouble and hiding from something. Or someone.
Hollis Stanton usually loves her life—movie roles she enjoys, an Oscar on her mantel, financial security. She’s come a long way from the poor, gangly redhead in hand-me-down clothes. But one stupid party held by a powerful movie producer changes everything.
She accidentally overhears something she shouldn’t have.
Now, someone is following her, breaking into her house, and crashing into her car. Her plan is to lay low in Hawaii. What wasn’t in her plan is the big, muscular, and rugged deputy sheriff next door. Nor is their scorching attraction.
When danger closes in, Hollis realizes Sawyer is the real deal—a hero with scars, who helps those in need.
A hero who will do anything to protect her.

Review:
“𝑰 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒂 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒂𝒈𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒊𝒔𝒏’𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒓. 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔, 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒔𝒖𝒄𝒌.”
This had a little bit of everything, romance and suspense. Yes, the main characters seemed to fall in love just a little too quickly.
A hollywood actress arrives in a new town and hides herself from everyone. She gradually gets to know the Ex Navy Officer right from the very beginning, piece by piece he learns about her life.
Can she overcome her past struggles and fears to really open her heart to him or will she flee the town and relationship again.
Both story and characterization are strong, and his writing again drew me in from the start.I had chills reading parts of this book. Other times I found myself yelling at the characters. It had my giddy and happy one minute, and scared the next
