Blurb:
It was supposed to be a simple job. Go to the Winston Isles, stand in for my billionaire double for a few weeks.
But between the kidnapping attempt and accidentally falling in love with my bodyguard, things have been far from simple.
The good news, at least now the woman I love knows who I really am. The bad news is, no one else knows and someone is still trying to kill me.
I came to the Winston Isles to save my mother’s life, now I’ve got so much more than I bargained for. The trick will be to hold on to my brand new life and not get killed in the process.

My Thoughts:
This story is a great reminder to those that have been following this author that the Royal Elite is a great series to read and all the series that have been interconnected with it. This is also a great way to catch up with some of the characters that you may not have seen for a while. If you haven’t read the first book in this duet, Bodyguard To The Billionaire, than stop and turn around before you get too far. Otherwise it would be like starting a book in the middle. Plus you will be lost.
Zia Barnes is one pissed off woman. Theo Coleman has received the shock of his life. Their story seems more complicated as we see this pick up where book one left off. The twists and turns just get more interesting. It also becomes a little more complicated with the addition to someone that knows Theo very well. Once the mystery starts up again than my near future is set – at least until the last word is read.
It was great to watch our characters solve the current mystery but I felt as if I was being set up for something else. The last word came and that just left me wondering what this author is doing. It seems that our duet is just setting us, and the characters, up for something. I can’t wait to find out what that something is.
Excerpt:
Zia... Liar.
Conman.
Duplicitous fuck.
As I leaned against the wall of the makeshift medical room we'd set up in the penthouse, I thought about the two versions of the man I had started to fall for.
Two versions of one of the richest men in the world. One of them was a billionaire, Derrick Arlington. And the other was someone I didn't know.
And currently, one of them was bleeding all over what looked like a massage table.
I'd fallen in love with a mirage. None of what I'd felt had been real.
As the doctor Royal Elite had on call worked to patch up Derrick, I watched them both. The resemblance was beyond uncanny. They were freaking identical.
No. You can tell them apart.
Right now, I could. But without the scruff and long hair, would I be able to?
Right now, I could. But without the scruff and long hair, would I be able to?
I forced myself to take a closer look. To focus on what was different, what stood out.
For starters, Theo, or whoever the hell he was, had broken his nose. There was a slight bump in the ridge. It was barely noticeable, but it distinguished them. That and the eyes, that stormy gray, surrounded by thick lashes. They were the same shape and color, but Arlington's were a little closer together. Or maybe a little wider. It was hard to tell now as he had a cut above one and it was nearly swollen shut.
Heightwise, they looked about the same, but I couldn't be sure. They weighed about the same. And I only knew that because I'd helped drag Arlington off the beach with Theo, who had mumbled some bullshit about me not finding out that way. And sorry, sorry blah blah blah. If I was being honest, the shock had rendered me deaf and dumb right then.
But once the crisis was over, my voice was back, and I had a shit ton to say. Starting with Liar. Conman. Duplicitous fuck.
It didn't matter what form of explanation came out of his mouth. As far as I was concerned, he was full of shit.
