Have old secrets followed her home?
After years of school and training, Lila Copeland is coming home to put her stamp on the family bakery.
Unfortunately, trouble follows...in the form of unflappable security chief, Travis Upton. He isn't just the man Lila’s been crushing on for months, he's the guy who suspects her of pulling off a major jewelry heist.
But when Travis’s investigation reveals Lila was set up—and is now a target—the easiest way to protect her is to pose as her doting boyfriend.
Their talk of love may only be white lies, but the kisses are as real as the danger closing in.
As the real thief applies more pressure, threatening the people she loves, Lila will do whatever it takes to help Travis close his case. Even confess her ugliest secrets.
If you like small town romantic suspense loaded with colorful characters, an unstoppable protector, and a fake relationship that’s the real deal deep down, you’ll love Island Refuge!
