He was expecting a relaxing vacation, but instead not only found himself a victim of a kidnap for ransom, but also the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Beach vacation.

River tubing.

It should've been a nice break from Wade "Flash" Gordon's life as a Navy SEAL.
Instead, he's kidnapped...along with Kelli Colbert, an intriguing woman he met at the Jamaican resort where they're both reluctant members of bachelor/bachelorette parties.

Then they find themselves forced underground—buried alive.

Flash has no doubt whatsoever his team will stop at nothing to find him, and he's right. And while that mission proves a success, the kidnapper's still at large—a man who's not willing to just say goodbye to the ransom money he was counting on to bankroll his new life.

But he's drastically underestimated his would-be captives.

Flash and Kelli may have met by chance, but they forged a bond deeper than most people could ever understand. And when Flash finds out she lives near him in Southern California, nothing can stop him from keeping Kelli by his side...and safe from danger that's closer than either of them could ever suspect.

**Protecting Kelli is the 6th book in the SEAL of Protection: Alliance Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.
