They've sworn to serve and protect. But can they protect themselves from love? All Chief Nicholas Terrell wants is to do what he loves without the annoyance of a police partner hanging around. To serve and protect, by himself. So, given a chance to take the position of Chief of Police at Inheritance Bay is a no-brainer. In this small town, a big day of crime is catching the teen who took the flowers from Ms. Grady's doorstep. Here, there are no reminders of the partner he lost or the woman who caught his attention from the academy. After New York, it's the perfect solution for him. After being in a precinct that wouldn't give her the chance to move up, Siobhan Clark needed to make a move. When an offer came for an opportunity to train with the police chief in Inheritance Bay, she doesn't even have to think about it. It's her chance to be second in command, and she owes it to her late father. Nicholas is furious. Not only has he been stuck working with a partner, he's stuck working with her. Just when he was making progress in forgetting her. He didn't need any reminders of the past, and he certainly didn't need a woman as his deputy who looked like she should be modeling instead of doing police work. But when a protester takes it too far, and Siobhan gets hurt, they'll both reevaluate if life is too short to keep looking back. The scenery in front of them is far lovelier. Can Nicholas accept his past while denying his attraction for his new deputy? Can Siobhan prove herself as a deputy while falling for the chief? Come find out if these two officers can love and protect! Get your copy today!
