The sexy cop next door wants nothing to do with me. Until he asks me to marry him to save his daughter.

When Lucas moves in next door, I don't waste any time trying to get his attention.

But the police officer who looks strong enough to throw me over those wide shoulders of his and carry me away isn't interested in me.

Time for desperate measures.

I show up at his house in a raincoat and nothing else. Only to be greeted by his eleven-year-old daughter. Oops.

Game change. Ignore the sexy cop next door. Do not spy on him with binoculars when he runs by with his toned calves and powerful thighs on display.

But then he asks me to marry him so he can keep custody of his daughter.

I never did learn how to say no to temptation.

But this is fake. We're married on paper only no matter how many times Lucas growls my wife.

This single dad, fake marriage, small town romantic comedy features a woman who finds herself marrying the sexy cop next door despite her vow to never get married, a single father who will do anything to keep custody of his daughter even marry the beautiful woman next door who he finds nearly irresistible, a seal that doesn't know it's not a traffic stop, too many mermaid legends to mention, and a group of girlfriends who are considering a career change from brewery owners to matchmakers.

After The Vows is a standalone novel in the Smuggler's Hideaway series.
