The Sheriff's Sweetheart

A County Fair Meet-Cute, Closed-Door Christian Romance (Hollow Bridge Book Five)

A fearless construction worker. A tender‑hearted sheriff. Love sparked by an unforgettable motorcycle ride.

Tara Coulson never expected a single night at the county fair to change anything—until a handsome stranger with a motorcycle offered her a ride she couldn't refuse. They parted as Casanova and Blondie, two nameless sparks destined never to cross paths again. Returning to her construction job at the Hollow Bridge police station feels like stepping back into reality…until the sheriff walks in, and Tara realizes her stranger wasn't a stranger at all.

Sheriff Kieran Harper has spent days replaying their whirlwind evening, the bracelet she left behind the only clue to her identity. Finding Blondie again feels like fate, until a painful mistake threatens the fragile connection they've just rediscovered. With trust shaken and hearts exposed, Tara and Kieran must decide whether their spark was a moment of chance…or the beginning of something worth fighting for.

A closed‑door Christian romance filled with motorcycle rides, tender nicknames, and small‑town charm.
