Publisher's Summary

What started as an adventure soon became hell. Piper Johnson’s thrilled to spend time in Timor-Leste with her best friend, a Peace Corps volunteer…until civil unrest erupts throughout the countryside, including an attack at the orphanage the women were visiting. With the aid of a SEAL team sent to extract the government employee, Piper flees with the only other known survivors - three young orphan girls. Piper wasn’t able to save her friend, but she’ll be damned if she leaves the girls to the mercy of child traffickers in the country’s impoverished capital. However, taking them with her to the States requires something drastic, something crazy…something she can’t do alone. 

What started as a mission soon becomes fate. Since nearly dying on a previous op, Beckett “Ace” Morgan has no time for regrets. Life is far too short. So when he learns the brave, beautiful, selfless woman he’s rescued has a better chance of getting three orphans out of the country if she’s married, he doesn’t hesitate. Ace marries her then and there, instantly gaining the family he’s always wanted. With time, he knows his respect for Piper can grow into love, and meanwhile, he’s saved both her and their new daughters from a fast-spreading rebel incursion. 

Protecting his girls on foreign soil turns out to be the easy part of the team’s mission. Protecting them from a threat waiting at home may be the biggest fight of Ace’s life. 

Securing Piper is the third book in the SEAL of Protection: Legacy Series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings.

CRAZY GOOD

From the first words to the last “help me” in the epilogue this book has you biting your nails, crying, laughing and flat out wishing Susan Stoker wrote faster!!! 😎Amazing author, awesome book.
Savannah Peachwood did an excellent job bringing the story to life and letting you feel all the feels. So good!!!

Loved the story!

I finished this one in record time! I preordered this and it was worth every hour I waited for it. The story was so good I could hardly sleep! I don't think I'm in the minority when I say I can't wait for the next books.

Great Read

I enjoyed this story.It was so much more. The more I read, the more invested I became. It started out engaging, strong and sweet. The connection with the main characters, the kids and friends was touching. I teared up, smiled and cheered. It has been chomping at the bit to hear more and more about the seals. Glad to know Tex always has the backs of all our heros.

Wonderful book!!!

I love and enjoy reading a good navy seal romance thriller kindda books and Susan Stoker has the beast in store!!! Cant wait to listen to upcoming books for this series!!!! All the men’s stories... I’m eagerly waiting to know the story of Phantom!!! He’s a puzzle I’m dying to watch be solved!

Always a 5!

Susan Stoker is one of my two favorite authors. Always a preorder/automatic download and she never disappoints! Always such good stories with wonderful, interesting characters.

Great military romance!

When Ace’s team goes into a remote Indonesian island to rescue a wealthy man’s daughter, instead they find her best friend Piper who has been hiding with three young girls under the crawlspace. Unable to find Casey, the original target, and seeing mass graves they assume she was killed by the rebels. Not wanting to leave the orphan girls in a war torn chaotic country, Piper agrees to marry Ace and adopt the three children. They are already falling in love with each other, so it’s no hardship on either party. Once back and living as a family in Ace’s home life starts to settle into a routine, until a mentally unstable man takes the youngest girl and they are in a race to find her. Narration was well done.

A huge disappointment

I've listened to/read over 50 of SS's books and, out of all of them, only about 7 have been truly disappointing. However, I'm sorry to have to say that, so far, every SoP:L title has been a let down.

SP's narration isn't great, but it's not terrible either. The problem is with the stories themselves:

Caite started well and then meandered about in a long-winded fashion before completely fizzling out.

Sidney was better but I found the heroine so frustrating that she spoiled everything. I didn't think she deserved Gumby and, by the end, I really didn't want them to get together!

Now Piper, and I have to admit that I just found this one dull! Usually, I'm not aware of time passing when I'm caught up in a story, but I found myself regularly checking how much more I had to get through. Several times, I gave up and listened to something else instead! Much as I wanted to, I simply didn't care about Ace, Piper or anyone else. The whole story left me completely cold and there wasn't any chemistry to make them a believable couple.

I'm on the verge of giving up on this series, but I keep hoping for a return to form and don't want to miss it if it happens! The recent books in SS's other series have been great, it's only SoP:L that consistently fails to deliver.

Awesome!

This book is FULL of suspense, with a top level romance running through it. Classic Susan Stoker, it is well written with believable characters and a sound plot. Can't wait for the next one!

I enjoyed this book about securing Piper

Another great book from the author of the seal protection series. I enjoyed reading about Pipers and Ace's story and about the heroines struggles at the beginning of the storyline and how her relationship with Ace and the children evolved, together with the outside factors that came into play. I also enjoyed reading about the power of compassion, love and forgiveness.
