The Sheriff's Sweetheart

Will these lovers ride into the sunset?

Tara Coulson

Ditching my roommate at the county fair for a man I'd just met probably wasn't the smartest decision. What can I say, Casanova was hot, and I was intrigued when he offered to take me on a motorcycle ride around the back roads. A little fun doesn't hurt. Besides, I'll never see him again. I don't even know his name. We are Casanova and Blondie, two strangers who shared a magical evening together and then parted ways.

Now it's back to reality. The construction company I work for is expanding the Hollow Bridge police station which keeps me fairly busy. A couple of the officers brought doughnuts and coffee to say thank you. I don't know the cops around here, but the sheriff looks awfully familiar…

Protecting the community is in my blood-my dad was a cop, so I became a cop. It's protecting my heart that's the problem. I admit I fall in love easily. When Blondie challenged me to a carnival game in exchange for a date, I knew I'd met my match. Good thing I have great aim. That's a contest I would have hated to lose. She jumped on the back of my motorcycle like she belonged there. She claimed my heart like it was already hers, too.

We didn't exchange names. The only clue I have to her identity is the bracelet she left behind. If only I had time to investigate. Hollow Bridge may be a small town, but the sheriff always has work to do. Today I'm stopping by to thank the construction workers who are laboring hard to expand the police station. Imagine my surprise seeing Blondie there!

If you enjoy feeling the wind in your hair and nicknames make you melt, then this closed-door romance novella is for you!
