Bound by Secrets: Deadly Isles Special Ops, Book 2 (Unabridged‪)‬

On the run from an abusive relationship, book reviewer Kayla Kane needs a place to lay low, but she won’t risk her parents’ lives. Especially when a visit to her Honolulu childhood home resurfaces memories of her deceased teenage brother reinforcing all they’ve already lost. To keep her family safe, she finds the perfect place to hide: with her brother’s best friend, the man she’s crushed on forever.

Former Navy SEAL Jaxon Hale has never found a woman who could compare to Kayla and the single night they shared the summer after graduation. When she reenters his life a decade later, he vows to do whatever it takes to make a relationship with her a reality. This time, the promise once made to his best friend won’t stand in his way.

Kayla and Jaxon soon realize that sharing a living space doesn’t come without complications. The past shadows their every turn, and tensions escalate as they dive headfirst into painful memories for a chance at a future. Despite the safety of Jaxon’s home, Kayla's troubles aren’t over. With the stalker ex-boyfriend looming and an unknown threat closing in, bringing more secrets to light, Jaxon risks losing Kayla forever.
