Nothing says “summer vacation” like death threats and a grumpy bodyguard.
Marine biologist Abby Marlowe came to Sunbreak Harbor to study sea turtles, not accidentally film smugglers.
But when her underwater camera captures something very illegal and very dangerous she assumes reporting it to the Coast Guard will solve the problem. Case closed. Back to the loggerheads.
Enter Noah Vance: former Navy, current bodyguard, and deeply allergic to risk, small talk, and cheerful women who wander off alone.
Noah’s assignment is simple keep Abby alive until the threat is neutralized.
Except she keeps sneaking out to check nesting sites, befriending every stranger in town, and asking questions like What’s your love language? while he’s scanning for hostiles.
Now they’re stuck sharing a tiny beach cottage with one bathroom and a couch that was clearly not designed for a six-foot-two former SEAL.
She’s sunshine, sea salt, and talks to pelicans like coworkers. He’s brooding intensity, one-word answers, and hasn’t taken a vacation in three years.
It was never supposed to be anything but a job. But summer in Sunbreak Harbor has a way of changing the rules—and falling for the one person you absolutely shouldn’t.
