Kalea’s Hero was previously published as Hot SEAL Hawaiian Nights. Since it really is the first book in the Brotherhood Protectors Hawaii series, it has been rebranded and a new epilogue has been included. I didn’t want those who hadn’t read Hot SEAL Hawaiian Nights to miss out on the book that laid the groundwork for Brotherhood Protectors Hawaii! Former Navy SEAL’s first assignment as a Brotherhood Protector is to secretly guard a Hawaiian cattle baron’s daughter from a kidnapping threat Jace Hawkins (Hawk) thought he was headed home to Montana after leaving the Navy SEALs, but his first assignment at the Montana-based Brotherhood Protectors is to fly to the Big Island of Hawaii to secretly protect a cattle baron’s daughter. His goal is to keep the lady alive while pretending to be a ranch hand. The ranching is second nature since he grew up on a ranch in Montana. Protecting the daughter is where the challenge lies. Kalea Parkman has had free rein of the 130,000-acre Parkman Ranch since she was big enough to fit her feet into stirrups. She refuses to curtail her freedom just because she’s had a couple of near-misses with a potential kidnapper. But when a mainlander cowboy hires on as a ranch hand, he manages to shadow her every move. And the man has skills…with the animals…and with her. Even though he’s as sexy as sin, he’s no less annoying. When attempts to take her increase, the new cowboy insists on protecting her at all costs. They must rely on each other to stay alive until the threat is neutralized, while hopelessly resisting a desire that rivals the heat of the Kilauea volcano.

Disillusioned by the government running the country he loves, Navy SEAL Angelo “Angel” Cortez leaves the only job he knew to join the civilian world working for Brotherhood Protectors as they staff the Hawaiian branch of Hank Patterson’s brainchild. His first assignment literally lands in his lap when a local tour guide slips from a rocky ledge as she guides a tour group at a local waterfall. Leilani is desperately working multiple jobs to earn enough money to rebuild the business her family had owned and operated for over 100 years. Fires decimated buildings and inventory, but not her spirit. Now big businesses want to claim the real estate when natives can no longer make a living on their own property. Some big businesses are more aggressive in their tactics to force out locals. Angel and Leilani navigate turbulent waters while trying to save her family heritage and expose the source of its sabotage. In the process, they reveal a growing attraction neither anticipated and neither may survive to take it to the next level.

Former Marine Force Recon, Devlin Mulhaney left the military when politics interfered with the mission, and he lost a friend. He quickly realizes that navigating civilian life can prove to be just as dangerous. When her high-class fiancé absconded with all the money she’d worked so hard to accumulate, fashion model, Kiana Williams, left the catwalk in Honolulu and disappeared to Maui to start a new life in a less dangerous field. A call from a former roommate drags her back to search for a missing friend. This time, she’s not going in alone. She hires Brotherhood Protector Dev Mulhaney to ensure her safety and to help her locate her missing friend. “I don’t need a date. I don’t want a relationship. I’m not going to fall in love with you.” Together they navigate a growing attraction in the midst of the dangerous world of high fashion and elite escorts, where money can buy beautiful things or get you killed.
