Sun Kissed — JoAnn Ross

From New York Times bestselling author JoAnn Ross comes the first in a new series set in paradise. From its soaring mountain peaks to its turquoise lagoons, Orchid Island, the jewel of the Pacific, offers endless opportunities for romance to bloom.


Lani Breslin has had it with the mainland rat race. A free spirit in an eccentric family, she's returned to her Orchid Island home to live an idyllic life. And if her brother happened to send along a yummy hunk to seduce her? That's just fine with Lani.

Police detective Donovan Quinn's last case nearly killed him. Burned out and still recuperating from an injury, he escapes to the tranquility of Orchid Island to reboot his life. It's a sweet surprise to discover Lani has blossomed like one of the island's tropical flowers, even if the Bro Code says you shouldn't crave moonlit kisses from your best friend's sister.

As Donavan struggles to resist Lani's charms, matters get more complicated when her best friend's fiancé goes missing and he finds himself caught up in a chase involving the F.B.I., sunken treasure, and pirates. But it's not easy solving a mystery when he keeps stumbling over his heart and may have to choose between the opportunity of a lifetime or a lifetime in Paradise with the woman he loves.

Sun Kissed is a stand-alone sequel to Sunset Point.
