Escaping to paradise isn't all it's cracked up to be.

When her relationship goes irrevocably wrong, Gina is left with only one option–to run and hide. What better way to dodge her seedy ex and haunting past than to take a job on a privately owned island with intense security measures in place?

Protecting people has always been Dugan's purpose, but even as experienced as he is, the hurricane-ravaged island is proving difficult for him to secure. Carefully constructed puzzles and traps have become chaotic landmines he must defuse before it's too late.

When Gina appears as a helping hand ready to team up and restore the island to its former glory, it seems too good to be true. Dugan is drawn to her. He wants to protect her, to love her, and he thinks she feels the same way.

But when her past resurfaces, secrets are revealed and lies are exposed. Can they navigate the dangers of their island home while nurturing their budding romance? Or will Gina leave paradise–and Dugan–behind.
