3.5-4 starsThis was a pretty good story. I liked both Kara and Harper. Their story short but still enjoyable and sexy.Kara is the daughter of a VERY rich man. Because of this she grew up surrounded by guards but not having much of a life. Every time Kara gets involved with someone, she seems to get screwed over because they're either a reporter trying to get a story or someone after her family's wealth. Kara changed her name and opened her own business, trying to distance herself from her family and to have a normal life. Unfortunately she doesn't have much luck with that...Harper is a P.I. and owns his business with his 2 brothers. He has only had one serious relationship and it was with a rich woman that acted like he was what she wanted but then threw him over later to go back to her rich life and friends. Since then he's been reluctant to get in a new relationship, especially with another rich woman.Kara is determined to have a vacation but her father called and insisted she needs protection due to a kidnapping threat against her. Unfortunately, Kara's father hasn't been real honest about guards he's had following her and threats against her in the past and so Kara doesn't believe him, thinking he's just doing it to control her. She sneaks on to her cruise ship in disguise after managing to lose the guards her father sent after her. What she doesn't know is that her father called in a local P.I., Harper, that he knows and trusts to keep an eye on her. Harper didn't lose Kara and manages to get on board the cruise before it leaves. He manages to track her down and makes his approach over dinner. Harper has been following Kara now for a week or so and has been attracted to her. Because of his past and his working relationship with her father, Harper doesn't intend to take things any further. This plan changes when they get close and the attraction between them explodes. They spend a hot and heavy night together and they both feel a stronger pull towards each other. Harper is glad he's able to stay close of Kara in order to protect her and he enjoys being with her but he feels bad about lying to her and doesn't know how to get past it. Kara just wanted a vacation fling but soon realizes she's feeling more than lust for Harper. Unfortunately, the threats against Kara are real and Harper's true identity comes out when he has to protect her from danger. This puts a halt to their fledgling relationship as Kara (understandably considering her background) has major issues with people lying to her. Harper still has to stay close to protect Kara and this causes discomfort for both of them as the feelings between them are still just as strong. There's danger and drama and things don't look good for our couple for a while but they do end up together and heading toward a HEA.This was an enjoyable story. I liked both Harper and Kara and their story was good. There weren't any major twists (I suspected the bad guy from the beginning) but it did have enough going on that I liked and my interest didn't flag, finishing the story in a sitting. I'd recommend this story. :)
