No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
A daughter escaping, a Navy SEAL sent to protect her, and the beautiful island that might prove more dangerous than her father.
Ally, daughter of the Duke of Gunthry, has spent her life terrified of her father and dreams of the day when she can escape his tyrannical rule.
When her mum helps her escape to the beautiful island of Kauai, Ally thinks sheβs found paradise and maybe more with the handsome River who keeps crossing her path.
But there are unexpected enemies lurking in the shadows. And no matter how tough River seems, no one can withstand the army her father will send when he discovers her location.
River Duncan is part of an elite security task force of ex-Navy SEALS. Little does he know his first assignment might prove irresistible to resist and protect. When he finds himself falling for the fun-loving Ally he plans to resign his position so they can join forces in their common goal of fighting human trafficking. River has never underestimated the enemy before, but is he fully prepared to protect and love Alexandria Gunthry?
Will Riverβs protection and Allyβs love be enough to conquer a lifetime of fear and responsibilities? Or will they be forced to give up on their dreams in the face of her sadistic and powerful father?

"If you were escaping a controlling and overbearing father, where would you go? Ally hides out on the beautiful island of Kauai and in an attempt to keep her safe, River is hired as a bodyguard, of sorts. Hello, Channing Tatum! Uh um, I mean...Channing "River" Duncan. There's not much better than a big, strong, protective guy.
I absolutely love the way Cami Checketts is able to sweep me away to an exotic location, completely immersing me in the story. She always adds an element of suspense that keeps me on my toes and I was almost looking over my shoulder while hiking the lush trails of Kauai this afternoon. Okay, not really, but I really felt transported right into the middle of this book. There are a few surprise twists that further engaged my interest. And thanks to Daylight Savings Time, I dozed off for a few minutes and I dreamed about this story, with me starring as a main character.
And while I'm speaking of toes (kind of), the romance is toe-curling, swoony, and hot, while still staying clean. I love the connection and tension that swirled around River and Ally. They are each great in their own ways--strong characters--but obviously benefit from each other. I don't think I'm going to recover from this story any time soon--it's definitely in my top favorites by this author."
