What started as an adventure, soon became hell. Piper Johnson’s thrilled to spend time in Timor-Leste with her best friend, a Peace Corps volunteer…until civil unrest erupts throughout the countryside, including an attack at the orphanage the women were visiting. With the aid of a SEAL team sent to extract the government employee, Piper flees with the only other known survivors—three young orphan … orphan girls. Piper wasn’t able to save her friend, but she’ll be damned if she leaves the girls to the mercy of child traffickers in the country’s impoverished capital. However, taking them with her to the States requires something drastic, something crazy…something she can’t do alone.
What started as a mission, soon becomes fate. Since nearly dying on a previous op, Beckett “Ace” Morgan has no time for regrets. Life is far too short. So when he learns the brave, beautiful, selfless woman he’s rescued has a better chance of getting three orphans out of the country if she’s married, he doesn’t hesitate. Ace marries her then and there, instantly gaining the family he’s always wanted. With time, he knows his respect for Piper can grow into love, and meanwhile, he’s saved both her and their new daughters from a fast-spreading rebel incursion.
Protecting his girls on foreign soil turns out to be the easy part of the team’s mission. Protecting them from a threat waiting at home may be the biggest fight of Ace’s life.

Loved the whole series!
Love this series. Strong men and women!
I enjoy meeting the different team members and their stories in Susan Stoker’s books. There’s always a little suspense with a lot of team work.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book but it ended very abruptly with no real closing. Disappointing.
Insta love on Timor Leste when Ace rescues Piper and falls for her nearly instantly – so much so that he marries her to adopt three orphans. Enjoyable book with enough plot and heat and of course Stokers trademark banter between the men in the SEAL unit. Not sure how realistic that is but it’s nice to imagine. Solid 3.5
This author never fails to write an good story!
Wow oh wow. Awesome book. Awesome writer. Pulls u in on 2nd page. Your hooked. Fast paced. Hard to put down.
Amazing story! I’ve read several of this author’s books as well as other of her friend’s stories – all have been enjoyable and a bit different. The way Ms. Stoker writes and tells the adventure makes you part of the intrigue and mystery. Visiting a friend in the Peace Corps in a country called Timor-Leste, Piper has fallen in love with the children in the orphanage. She has been a good friend of Kalee for most of her life and being in this remote mountain area has been a huge experience. She had heard about the rebels but to experience their terror had never been in her mind. Hiding with three children, under the floor in a crawl space, while terror tore through the area, killing, stealing and raping, they lay stricken with fear. This book will hold your interest from start to finish. The sensual scenes are well written and not over-the-top as can often be the case. I loved every moment spent reading this book. I look forward to more and wish this series was on KU so I’d start reading tomorrow morning.
This is one of the books I missed in this series. I knew about her and Kaylee in Kaylee’s book and what happened to them. There’s plenty of action, 3 cute and smart little girls who Abe vows to protect. Get ready to join their adventure fleeing trouble and heading to the states. But Piper can’t forget about Kaylee. Heartbreaker book. HEA.
Another hit, kept me riveted and engaged.
I loved this book. I cried harder and smiled bigger than one could imagine. God bless our Navy SEALs.
I love this series!
This one is an emotional read. Piper went to visit her BFF , Kalee, in Timor-Leste where she worked for the Peace Corp. Rebels attack and Piper ends up in a crawl space at the orphanage Kalee likes to visit with three little girls aged 4, 7 and 13. They are rescued days later by Ace and the rest of the Seal Team. They find Kaylee and the rest of the orphans in a pit. The group spends the next few days hiking down a mountain eluding rebels to get to the capital of Timor-Leste. There is danger for everyone in the city and even when they return to the states. This book is action packed and full of love.
He and his team were sent to a country to get a lady out but found her best friend and three orphan girls She wants to adopt them and so he marries her they fall madly in love sizzling romance and a wonderful happy after
I love Beckett “Ace”. He is the best book boyfriend. Just as protective and deadly as the others but has such a soft side when it comes to Piper and the girls. They met in the worst of conditions. But formed and instant bond and family. I really like the story. You got to see the horrors that other countries go through and everything they had to go through to get to safety only to face more danger at home. Can’t wait to read kaylees and phantoms book and i was so glad when I read that epilogue excerpt.
Selfless heroine with real life spot light on human trafficking.
“Securing Piper” is the third book in the SEAL of Protection: Legacy series and it had me sitting on the edge of my seat and flipping them pages. Piper Johnson is a smart woman but an introvert, she spends most of her time inside creating cartoons, she is not a people person. Her best friend, Kalee Solberg is a Peace Corps volunteer who talks Piper into visiting her in Timor-Leste, a trip that goes really bad, really fast. The orphanage that the two are visiting is attacked and Piper is hidden with three young orphan girls. Beckett “Ace” Morgan is part of the SEAL team sent in to rescue Kalee and Piper but didn’t have any idea about the girls until they got there, but always being prepared the SEAL team did what they had to do, to get them off foreign soil and back home. It doesn’t take long before Ace finds out that protecting his girls at home is not going to be as easy as he thought.
This is a fantastic book, I loved the little girls and how Ace protected and loved them. Pay close attention, because I feel a set-up for another book within these pages, and I have got a feeling it will be an intense one!
What a pulse pounding book. You won’t want to put it down.
I really like Piper in this book. I felt like she was written in a way that was very relatable. She was a woman like any of us that is put in a scary situation. She doesn’t have any training for any of this but yet she knows she “has” to. She doesn’t complain, she protects those little girls like they are her own and she follows the men’s directions without complaint. I love reading about her will. Her will to survive and the will to protect. She isn’t a soldier like the men but she has the instincts to protect just as much as them.
Ace is an exceptional man. He is a Navy Seal who one regret is that he hasn’t had a family yet. Little did he know that this mission would forever change his life. Ace was amazing with the girls. I loved reading about him when he would pick the girls up and carry them and comfort them.
The other part of this book that I really liked was the action didn’t stop once they got stateside, it just changed. Watching them grow as a family and teaching the girls new things was amazing but also knowing that danger was lurking, kept me on the edge of my seat.
It’s terrible what grief can do to someone and how much it varies from person to person. Piper has such a huge heart to go through what she went through and still adore Rani, Sinta and Kamala. And Ace is so special to jump in with both feet and help Piper accomplish what she wants to do. It’s not all roses and chocolates, but once they get through the “theft” they have truly found “family”. A very powerful story.
Another fabulous story in the series. When Ace sees Piper crawling out of that space back in the orphanage in Timor-Leste He didn’t know that his live was about to change forever – for the better. When Piper crawled out of that space she didn’t know whether she’ll life another day or was going to die. A life- threatening situation with the rebels closing in on them and three little girls on the run into the City with them. A very wonderful story about making decissions and living with them. Great.
