Navy SEAL Jason Kealoha comes to Sunset Beach to release the ashes of his SEAL brother, who was killed in an attack in Nigeria. A Pacific Islander by lineage, Jason is unfamiliar with the Gulf Coast shores his buddy grew up playing in as a child. He befriends a beauty one night at sunset, as she roams the surf, skipping shells, lost in her own world.Kiley Worthington is on the run from a sex … a sex trafficking cartel she stumbled upon as an investigative reporter in Portland. She decides hiding out in her sleepy beach hometown in Florida makes sense until she can figure out where she can spend the rest of her life in safety. The one-night stand was nice, but the last thing she needs is a huge tatted overly-protective guy who won’t leave her alone. His attitude is all hardboiled, but his lips are warm and seductive. If she’s not careful, she may never escape.
But Jason turns out to be the right kind of wrong for Kiley, as her enemies find her. In Jason’s arms she finds a true sanctuary, as well as a safe place to hide forever amongst the white sand beaches and golden sunsets of the Florida coastline.

Jason is in Sunset Beach to say goodbye to his Seal brother who was killed. He meets Kiley who is on the run and is hiding in Sunset from sex trafficking gang. They meet up and Jason helps her with her problem. Nice to go back to Sunset beach and meet up with some of the characters from previous books and visit the area again. Can’t wait to see what Sharon brings us next.
It was a sad Jason who visited Florida to follow his deceased team member’s last wishes. However he never had imagined the events that would follow including meeting his soul mate.
Yet another beautifully written and entertaining story which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Kiley and Jason had a decent story. He’s saying a final goodbye to his brother, she’s on the run from danger. After an awkward first meeting, attraction takes the wheel and drives them into each other’s arms. It felt like they both had their own danger to handle, which proved that women don’t always need a man…but a man who will stand by their side to defend and support them is always nice.
My issue with this book is the throwaway use of “half breeds” while describing Jason’s home of Hawaii. It’s 2020. Let’s maybe find a better term? This set the tone for the entire book to me and made it difficult to find a connection with the author’s talent for telling a story. Based on that, I’m being generous with a 3 rating because plenty of other terms would’ve sufficed.
