Support Your Local Sheriff

Will he pass the daddy test? With his job in jeopardy, it couldn’t be a worse time for Sheriff Nate Landry’s recent past to come back to haunt him. But it would take an army to stop SWAT team leader Julie Smith. The fellow cop–and sister of his ex-fiancee–wants one thing from the beleaguered lawman: custody of the toddler son that Nate didn’t know he had. He may not be natural daddy material, but he quickly takes a shine to little Duke. And then there are the feelings Nate’s been hiding for years. Only now Julie’s running for sheriff of Harmony Valley–against him. Time to retreat? Not if he wants a future with the woman he loves.
