Kiss Me, Sheriff! 

Hoping for a fresh start, a pastry moves to a small town and gets a second chance at love with the local sheriff in this heartwarming romance. Willa Holmes has one rule: don’t fall in love! Love brings ties and ties bring pain, and she’s had enough of that. That’s why the pastry chef fled to Thunder Ridge in the first place-to live privately and bake anonymously. But then she makes a big mistake: she kisses the local sheriff. The tall, dark, incredibly sexy sheriff . . .No high-speed chase. That’s Derek Neel’s dating rule . . . till Willa. But the cowboy lawman’s hot pursuit hits a roadblock when he takes in an at-risk boy and Willa bucks like a frightened filly. Why is she so scared of the very things he wants most-love, family, forever? Derek isn’t sure, but he knows this: not even Willa can escape the loving arms of the law!
