Synopsis

DEA agent Bryan Tyke hates weddings. He hates them even more when he's forced to travel to a hot as hell beach resort to watch his best friends say I do, while acting happy about it. He isn't happy. If those two want to buy into happily ever after, good for them. That isn't in the cards for Tyke. It hasn't been since he joined the army years ago and lost everything. That is, until the woman he's never forgotten shows up as a bridesmaid and puts herself into immediate danger.

Kenna McCord has bigger issues than running into the gruff, sexy guy who broke her heart. Someone is stealing from wedding guests, including her late mother's sapphire ring, and Kenna needs to find the thief ASAP. Reluctantly, she agrees to let Bryan use his skills and resources to help with the investigation, knowing full well it will lead to nothing but frustration and more broken promises. Unfortunately, there's still something between them and it can't be denied . . .

Contains mature themes.

Goodreads review by Heather on March 20, 2018

Eh....this book was just okay. Very predictable; everything was written in sand in the first half of the book, the second half just dragged it out.

For someone who is a big, alpha man Bear coulsd be a bit of a wuss, “The litt......more
