About this ebook

It all started with a turtle and a pair of designer sunglasses…

A bodyguarding gig in the Caribbean? Living the dream, right? Former Navy SEAL Knox Livingston soon finds out the trip is no vacation. Pop princess Luna Maara is a pain in everyone’s ass, including the local judge’s. When Luna finds herself sentenced to a month of community service at a turtle sanctuary, Knox hopes she might finally rethink her behaviour, but little does he know, the nightmare is only just beginning.

Caro Menefee moved to Valentine Cay to escape her past, and the last thing she needs is a rich brat and her entourage invading the peaceful paradise. Although Knox and his equally cocky buddy sure are pretty to look at. And that’s all she’s going to do: look. She swore off men before she left California, and she has quite enough to worry about without adding two toned six-packs into the mix. The turtle population is declining at an alarming rate, and she’s not convinced it’s all down to natural causes. Will Knox help or hinder her quest to save a species? And will Caro join the turtles on the endangered list?

Ratings and reviews

This romantic suspense novel is set in Valentine Cay in the Caribbean. Blackwood Security have sent Knox and Ryder (highly skilled, not just eye candy and six packs) to act as bodyguards for Luna Maara, currently everyone’s favorite pop princess. What was supposed to be an easy body guarding gig turns into mystery and mayhem. This book contains everything you need if you enjoy action, adventure and like solving mysteries. Add in a little hot and heavy and you have an immensely enjoyable read.

This was an amazing book! I was itching to read Knox's story ever since he was first introduced. It was amazing to finally see him get his own book. Although Caro was a nice change from Emmy's gang of girls, she was no less tough. It's an amazing read and I can't wait for the next one!!

This is a continuation in the Blackwood Security series and I do believe you need to read it as such rather than a stand alone. As a series you are invested in the characters and some of the background makes a lot more sense ;) Another well crafted Elise Noble story that takes us into the lives of two of the team. I enjoyed we had two entwined stories that each contributed to the story line but with one of them left you anticipating the next book. Caro hid in the Caribbean not really expecting t
