Lake Bailey loves her job working for the Shepperton Foundation, which
is why she’s so upset when she suspects someone is funneling money from
it. When her boss, Devon Shepperton, who she was casually dating and who
she suspects might have been involved in the shady dealings, ends up
dead, Lake worries someone is trying to kill her too. Complicating
matters, she finds out she’s pregnant with Devon’s baby. So when Devon’s
Navy SEAL twin, Drake, shows up to settle his late brother’s estate,
she reaches out for help. Drake generously offers to keep her safe in
his highly secure condo until danger passes. As the two spend more time
together, Lake soon realizes keeping her heart intact might be her
biggest challenge.
Drake knows he’s returning to his SEAL team,
so getting romantically entangled with Lake is definitely off the table.
His role is protector, not lover. Then comes The Kiss. Drake has kissed
plenty of women, but for some reason, that one kiss from Lake is
throwing him off his game, making him feel things he’s never felt. But
he needs to stay focused. The danger to Lake is very real, and he
strongly suspects the Shepperton Foundation is at the heart of it. As
the danger swirling around them becomes a tempest, Drake finds himself
drawn closer to Lake, realizing he’ll do just about anything to keep her
safe. And to win her heart…

My Review 4 STARS
**My thanks to the author and Hidden Gems for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**
This is a fairly fast paced novel that has you chasing with the thriller of who is the bad guy and also rooting for Drake and Lake to get together.
The chemistry is pretty much there straight from the beginning as Lake is as honest as she can be right off the bat. She also has reasons from her past as to why she acts upfront to help tackle the problem that she has found in the company records and brings to the attention for Drake.
Lake always shows an inner strength and a willingness to do what she must to survive and proves that she has more savy than most when men attack her and try to kidnap her even with Drake around.
I really did enjoy this book and will look forward to reading more from these collaborating authors.
