Blurb:
She has trust issues, he’s wrapped up in his job…and together they define trouble.
Sheriff Hugh Jericho likes his job, but he doesn’t like messy and that describes Adira Mitles. When she is sentenced to community service and she becomes his responsibility, things get messy.
Since walking away from her ex, Adira has been on the run—running from the past that haunts her. Up until now, she’s done a good job at sedating the demons, but the sexy Sheriff has knack at finding each and every one of them. He offers her things she has never known—kindness and adoration. A future. What’s a girl to do but give in?
As the two become closer, each helping the other close doors to the past and open them to the future, Hugh comes to grips with his love for Adira. To keep her in Colton though, he must help her learn to trust him completely…and he must show her that she doesn’t need a man, she needs a champion.
Murder and mayhem threaten to unravel the small town and they’ll both face turmoil, in their hearts and in the community. But he’ll risk his own life to offer her peace…
“We can’t control the water, but we can choose the boat we’re in…”
Acknowledgements
For those of you who have read any of my books, you’ll already know that my characters have flaws, are damaged and have overcome trials and tribulations. Adira Miles has a heartbreaking story, as well as several of my characters in this book. Talking about abuse and drug use is the first step in bringing the devastation to light and hopefully helping others. These problems affect everyone, no matter where you live.
Hugh grew close to my heart. Considering this was the last book in the Saddles & Second Chances series, I think it ended on an amazing note. I found he had the balance of rough and tough hero, but also the sweet, compassionate Sheriff who protected everyone around him. After all his brothers found happiness, it was only right that Hugh did also.
As I start a new adventure with a new series, Lawmen of Wyoming, I hope you’ll find yourself absorbed in the stories that’ll lead us into the suspenseful, romantic afflictions of lawmen. Expect to find heroines with flaws. Heroes who are tough, but treat a lady with respect.
