He's sworn to uphold the law. Her life is riddled with closely guarded secrets.
When the past catches up to her, will she rush to him or run away?
When he's not evading grabby-handed octogenarians, mentoring troubled teens, or rescuing rascally youngsters from disaster, Deputy Knox Strickland can be found upholding the law in the eastern Oregon region he patrols. He avoids making plans for tomorrow, focusing instead on doing his best today. Then one chance encounter with a beautiful woman in a wheat field turns his world upside down. Knox is left questioning what secrets she's hiding, and how hard he'll have to work to scale the fortress she's built around her heart.
Zadie Redmond isn't like most women. A life spent looking over her shoulder has destroyed the promising future she'd once envisioned. Her days are spent leading hunting and fishing adventures, or teaching tiny ballerinas the proper way to plié. She fills her evenings with do-it-yourself projects while worrying about the day her past catches up with her. In an unexpected moment, the local deputy swoops into her world like a storybook hero and she knows nothing will ever be the same. Zadie will do anything to keep Knox safe from the danger lurking in the shadows, even if it destroys her chance at love.
Will Knox convince Zadie she can trust him with her secrets and her heart?
I know I shouldn't be out here, Deputy Strickland, but the wheat field called to me and I had to answer, she said with a sassy grin.
Called to you? He spoke in a hushed tone. Something about this evening warranted whispers, maybe even a few secrets.
A sweet romance full of quirky small-town fun, Distracting the Deputy is a story of hope, help, and hanging on to what matters most.
