Party girl. Art thief. All around bad girl. It’s what all the newspapers call socialite and heiress Kate Sparrow. It’s all untrue. Kate’s been set up and she’s following the orders of the FBI to get the real criminal, her father. She’ll have to put up with her sister, the wedding fiasco, and her own fears that someone is after her, trying to stop her to get what she needs to prove her innocence.

Doctor Daniel Collins joins his brothers on a cruise to the wedding of his young cousin. His cousin begs him to keep a close watch on the bride’s sister, Kate. He's to keep her from ruining the wedding.

Kate doesn't trust Daniel's help in her life, but the man’s interference is blocking a few problems. She lets him. After all, he spent a few years in the military and having a friend like Daniel is nice. But when her fears become true, someone is after her, pretending to be in a relationship with the sexy doctor has its benefits. What she hadn't planned was opening her heart to trusting him. But if she doesn't open up, she’s going to lose out on far more than her life, she’d lose out on love.

Daniel slid into his seat and away from Eric, but his arms remained tense. His brothers wouldn't like this plan. He didn't like this plan. “I’m to babysit the spoiled rich princess and keep her away from the cops and the alcohol, this trip.”

He pressed his lips together. He expected his brothers to have an opinion, but silence greeted his ears.

All eyes went back to the door.

His collar grew warmer. Daniel glanced around to stare in the same direction. He assumed Kate Sparrow had stepped into the club.

His eyes scanned the room, and then the crowds parted. He had his first look. Time might have stopped, and he heard his own heartbeat. Brown hair with a bit of a curl, brown eyes, small frame, unusually large breasts for a woman her size, and an energy that took his breath away. He also noted that Kate’s eyes held a gleam, and Daniel’s mouth fell open. Kate Sparrow was the most beautiful woman he’d seen in a long while.

Beauty meant trouble. He turned back to his beer and refused to stare at her.

The pictures in the papers hadn't done her justice at all. How did they turn that pretty woman into a viper with a camera? His mind raced. Did she have a Jekyll and Hyde personality that came out at night?

This book was a fun read.  I haven't read the first book in the series but wasn't lost or confused at all.  Kate is being framed by her father so she won't be a creditable witness against him.  Her sister is doing everything possible to make her sister look bad and help her father.  Kate is going on a cruise for her sister's wedding.  The groom has asked his cousin Daniel to baby sit Kate and make sure she doesn't cause on trouble.  Daniel agrees but once he meets Kate he is drawn to her and has a feeling there is more going on than he has been told.  He finds himself helping Kate and starting to develop feeling for her.  Kate is a mission to find proof against her father and to prove her innocence to the FBI.  At first to she isn't sure what to make of Daniel, then he starts helping her even when she isn't very nice to him.  No one has been nice to Kate in a long time let alone wanted to help her without getting anything in return.  She begins to develop feeling for Daniel as well.  But she can't do anything about those feelings.  She can't drag Daniel into the middle of her mess and possible put him in danger.  Will Kate be able to clear her name and keep Daniel out of danger?  I really liked this book.  It had romance, danger, twists and turns.  Daniel kept running into his exes on the cruise.  Daniel and Kate found themselves helping each other in different ways and falling in love in the process.  I never saw the ending coming.  Who needs enemies when you have a family like Kate does.  Daniel and Kate's families are so different.  Kate has always wished for a family like Daniels.  They are close and there for each other.  I would love to read more about Kate and Daniel.  I have put the first book on my TBR list.  I will also be keeping my eye for future books in this series.
