About this ebook
Sheriff James Matthews has everything he thought he wanted—a steady position, a quiet town, and a life built on doing what’s right.
What he doesn’t have is someone to share it with… no matter how much the people around him seem determined to fix that.
Catherine Woodfield arrives in Cobbinsville with no such intentions.
After uncovering her fiancé’s dishonest dealings, she ends their engagement and leaves behind scandal and humiliation in the East, hoping a visit to her sister will offer a chance to begin again.
Instead, she finds herself at odds with the town’s sheriff.
Their first meeting goes poorly.
The ones that follow somehow go worse.
But beneath the misunderstandings and wounded pride, something neither of them expected begins to take shape.
Because the man she was quick to dismiss may be exactly what she needs…
And the woman determined to start over may be the answer to a prayer he never thought would be answered.
If they can set aside pride long enough to see what truly matters.
