THE BEACHCOMBERS

Prequel - Beachcomber Investigations Series
Dane Blaise
When he walks by you, you feel the heat of his energy and when you turn your head and meet his intense eyes, chills make you shiver with need until you think your panties might burst into flames.
Because you know he's the kind of man who would lay down his life for the woman he loves.
He's a protector, the kind of man who would have been a swashbuckler with in the days of pirates, or a knight in shining armor in the days of castles and kings.
Now, as he lives and breathes, seemingly invincible and legendary, he leads the life of a loner mercenary. Unimpressed and un-phased by most woman, the last thing Dane needs or wants is a partner named …
Shana George.
Shana is who every woman wants to be, strong and gob-smack gorgeous, a wonder woman style crusader -- protector of the helpless and fighter for justice. Working in law enforcement for Scotland Yard, she's a match for any man in her confidence and skill -- and looking for that man who will inspire her to lay everything on the line for him.
Will Dane be that man? Will Shana be a match for the legendary Dane Blaise?

Ex-special ops legend Dane Blaise takes on a new partner for a kidnapping case, gorgeous Scotland Yard detective Shana George. Mistake? Maybe. The fireworks between them could get them killed before they have a chance to find the missing heiress--and whoever is behind the kidnapping.
Dane has been visiting his beach shack on Martha's Vineyard to rest his weary body and soul for too many years and he's particularly in need of a rest this summer. But his old special ops commander, now governor of Massachusetts, calls on him to save a missing heiress. She was scheduled to compete in a surfing competition and now she's gone.
The governor also recruited a partner for Dane, perfect for going undercover as a surfer, the bikini bombshell Shana is also a Scotland Yard detective. Dane is skeptical until he finds out Shana has serious skills.
But as the case unfolds and the stakes ratchet up once they realize they're dealing with human traffickers specializing in beautiful women, Dane is in trouble. He is far too attracted to everything about his partner--and far too distracted for their well being and their survival.
They need to find the heiress and stop the kidnapping ring before they let their relationship compromise everything. Or is it too late?
