Blurb:
After being held up at gunpoint, Ashley Colton realizes
that life in the big city isn’t for her. She decides to take the biggest risk
of her life and move to Charlotte's Cove, the small seaside sanctuary where
she’s vacationed every summer since childhood.
Everything falls perfectly into place until her first day
of work, where she meets her new boss Tyler Jameson, the chief of police. The
chemistry between Ashley and Tyler is instant and powerful, but for reasons of
their own, both are cautious about jumping in.
When a woman from Tyler’s past surfaces, Ashley retreats,
making Tyler realize that if he’s going to show Ashley she’s the only one who
has his attention, then he needs to stop being hesitant and put everything on
the line.
Is the badge powerful enough to win the beauty who holds
his heart?
Excerpt:
“Are you Ashley?”
Startled, I turn toward the speaker.
Holy. Cow. This guy is gorgeous with a capital G. He’s at least six feet tall,
so I tilt my head back to get a better look. His brown hair is on the lighter
side of the spectrum and it’s styled in a way that says he’s not about
products. That’s refreshing on the heels of L.A. men, many of whom spend more
time on their appearance than most women. His eyes are a soft brown with a bit
of hazel, and his lashes are to die for. It’s not fair. No man should have
lashes so perfect.
His jawline is what one would call chiseled,
but I’ll just cut to the chase and call it hot. He’s clean shaven, and his lips
are stupidly kissable. Looking down at his body, I lick my lips. His arms are
big and muscular, and the khaki cargo pants he has on do nothing to hide he’s
got drool-worthy thighs. I can think of something else he’s got that has to be
drool worthy. I bet it’s—
Oh. Crap.
Wait a minute.
Khaki pants.
Black shirt.
My eyes dart to the left breast of
the black polo shirt. Sure enough, the CCPD logo is on it. And beneath the
logo, there’s a word that pulls me up short.
Chief.
Oh wow. Of course the hottest guy
I’ve ever seen on the island—or anywhere else, for that matter—just has to be
my boss.
I need to stop looking at him like
he’s filet mignon and I’m on a no-meat diet.
“Yes, I’m Ashley,” I confirm. I hope
my voice doesn’t sound all please kiss me
like the heroes in the movies would kind of breathless, but that might be
wishful thinking. I definitely don’t sound normal. Anxious to take the
attention away from myself, I turn it on him. “You must be Chief Jameson.”
He clears his throat. “Guilty. Call
me Tyler, though. I’m not big on formality.”
His voice is as sexy as the rest of
him. Husky and rich with that perfect amount of hot on the back end. If male
phone sex operators were in high demand, Tyler Jameson could have a whole new
career.
Crap. I can’t think about my boss and
phone sex—or any kind of sex—at the same time. Time to get it together if I
don’t want my first day to be my last.
