From the Publisher

12/03/2021

When his best friend Ed asks Niall to check in on his little sister, he agrees due to the debt he owes the family for setting his life on the right path. It comes as a shock that not only is little Lola now very much an attractive woman but she is also in desperate need of his expertise in security and protection as she is being stalked. Lola has relied only on herself since she was a teen, so letting Niall sweep her off to his retreat on Australia's Gold Coast has her flustered in more ways than one. The sparks that begin to fly make her wonder if she can get Niall to reciprocate the childhood crush she still has for him. VERDICT Readers will be swept off their feet along with Lola, and anyone who appreciates a protective alpha male will enjoy West's (A Consequence Made in Greece) story. The tropical setting and descriptions of Niall's luxurious lifestyle will satisfy those wishing for an armchair trip to paradise.—Morgan Lockard, Campbell Cty. P.L., KY
