I had ONE rule when I ran to Cedar Hollow... Don't fall for the Sheriff who lives next door. Knox Bowen. Six-foot-three. Widower. The kind of silence that empties a diner. He is every man my jilting fiancé was not. Bigger. Meaner. Quieter. With a jaw like a warning, hands like a threat, and grey eyes that land on you and stay. He is my neighbor. He is my landlord. He is the Sheriff my anniversary-gala budget has to answer to.
He is OFF LIMITS.
And I just overheard him on the phone, arguing with the town council... I'll find somebody, Mayor. Back off.
I knock on his door in my pajamas and a very bad idea. I'll pretend to be your date. One night. Free.
Knox stares at me for a full seven seconds. One night is not going to fix this, Miss Hatfield. One date becomes one engagement. One engagement becomes a courthouse marriage. One courthouse marriage becomes the grumpiest Sheriff in Tennessee kissing me in my own kitchen like the last three weeks were NOT pretend.
His niece is already calling me Aunt Riley. My runaway ex-fiancé just pulled into Cedar Hollow.
And Knox Bowen is smiling at him... It is not a nice smile.
And does pretend still count when the whole town already believes it? READER'S NOTE
