Finn just wants to enjoy the week vacation she finally managed to snag in Hawaii. But her meddling older sisters have an addiction to pranks. After a nap leads to a bad sunburn, she tries to escape to the shade. One more prank from her least favorite sister sends her toppling and getting tangled in her hammock. Of course, the hottest guy at the vacation spot is the one who finds her.

A rushed work trip to a mountain resort sends Ava into the humble, strong arms of a search and rescue stud. Can he save her heart? And can she rescue him before her time is up?
Cade Callahan is more than meets the eye, and Ava finds herself falling for him. Literally. He likes to play fair, and he’s desperate in a way only Ava can satisfy.

I won’t continue this series. I think it was too triggering for this readership.
If you read and like this book, let me know. I may start a new pen name and continue my romance suspense there.
