Blurb: 

I’m an all-or-nothing man—100 percent focused on whatever has my attention.

First it was serving my country in the Special Forces. Then it was building my business. Right now it’s the hot blonde at the bar who’s about to become another notch on my bedpost.

But women never keep my attention for more than a night.
Until I peel off Skylar Anderson’s clothes and her mask starts to crumble, showing me glimpses of the girl she’s hiding. She’s funny, sexy and vulnerable and throws me out of bed before I can catch my breath and suggest breakfast.

When I start my last undercover job on a yacht, turns out, she’s one of the crew. I try, but I can’t look away.

Her high ponytail shows off her kissable neck that tastes like summer.
Her short uniform reveals the killer legs that were wrapped around me last night.
And her provocative smile? I know what that mouth is capable of.
I want to explore her body, discover her secrets and sail off into the sunset with her.

I might want to go all in for Skylar, but she should stay away from me. I’ve got secrets of my own and they can only bring her trouble.

This is a stand-alone novel.



Caroline's Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Another solid read from one of my favourite authors.

"I barely knew this woman and already I wanted to understand her better - know her. Body and mind."

Landon Wolf is on a break before he starts his new job. However, when an old associate approaches him about an undercover job aboard a yacht, he finds himself unable to decline it. When he finds himself face to face with the hot blonde from the night before on board, his job may not be as easy as he first thought.

"A man like Landon was dangerous. A man who still had me thinking about him? Who looked at me like he had? He was way too much of a risk."

Skylar Anderson has always had one goal in mind - keep working and making bank so she never has to rely on anyone else ever again. She's good at her job, which means that relationships are limited and that suits her fine. She's not interested in committing herself to anyone. When she finds herself at close quarters with her unforgettable one-night stand, she finds herself re-thinking things as her feelings start evolving into something more. 

"Let me take your nightmares. Have only sweet dreams."

This book was gorgeous and so sexy! Landon and Skylar had amazing chemistry! I also loved the tenderness and trust that built between them. They were actually very similar characters. They were two people who didn't trust easily and were both very guarded, yet they recognised something in the other that had them opening up to each other. They were also both quite protective and caring people. I enjoyed the touch of danger element in the story - at one point, I thought that side might have developed into more, but nonetheless, it didn't detract from the overarching love story. Fab read!
 

 
Excerpt: 

“Did I tell you how beautiful you look tonight?”
For some reason, Landon’s compliment didn’t make me wince the way some men’s comments did. Everything about him was different and it had thrown me off kilter. His warm breath on my neck shouldn’t have made me shiver. He shouldn’t ease the ever-present knot in my stomach or have me wanting to slide my hand into his as we walked. He shouldn’t make me feel safe. “You didn’t.”
“Well, you do. Not that it’s any surprise.”
“Because you’re a gentleman who prefers blondes,” I said, nudging him gently with my elbow, trying to lighten the mood.
He pulled in a breath and scraped his hand through his hair. “I’m beginning to think I’m a man who just prefers you.”
I focused on the cobbled street in front of us. “Me?” Had I been mistaken about the ex-girlfriend in town or the girl on Tinder? I tried to hold my breath to ensure I heard his reply.
“Yeah, you. I like you. More and more.”
My stomach swooped, and I tried to think of a response. My head was telling me to run. Far away. I didn’t want to fall for anyone. I’d worked hard to stay single all these years—to keep away from temptation. But now, temptation right in front of me, I found myself rooted to the spot, wanting to know what was next. “Okay.”
“Okay?” he asked.
I nodded, unsure of what to say. Unsure of how I felt. I knew I found Landon attractive.
I knew I liked him too. But I also knew that I’d been single all these years for a reason.
He wrapped his large hand around my upper arm to steady me when I stumbled over a loose cobblestone. We stopped, and I looked up at him as he swept his thumb across my cheekbone. “I’m only going to ask you this once, and you don’t have to decide now, but stay with me tonight?”
“Landon . . .” Somehow, I couldn’t say no to him, even though I knew I shouldn’t say yes.
“Think about it.”
