Can love hit you like a ton of bricks?

Welcome. It's book hook time again. This week I'm sharing the second book of my Heroes of Westhorpe Ridge e-box set - Sex Scandal and the Sheriff.

Sean Mathews, former SEAL turned local sheriff has always been a player until he meets Jazz. She comes with baggage in the form of a spy scandal, and the bad guys haven't given up yet. 

Excerpt

Sean swallowed and started to apologize, but Jared already had his arm around her shoulders as he ushered her out the door. Tonight, Sean decided, must be his night to hurt the women he cared about. He’d known Abigail all her life, apart from the eight years he’d served as a Navy SEAL. Once he left the service, working as the small-town sheriff had satisfied his need to protect the people he loved. It hit him hard that he was head over heels in love with Jazz, and he’d die to protect her too.

Love grew slowly, like a flower coming into bloom, or so he’d thought. Jazz dropped like a boulder from the sky, crushing him and knocking the air out of his lungs. He needed to smooth over whatever had upset her earlier even if he had to keep his hands off her, at least until New Year’s Eve. That gave him chance to get to know her better and win her friendship along with her heart—but he’d be damned if anyone else would kiss in the New Year with her. Her lips were meant for him alone.

He’d no idea how to approach her again, but he craved a future with her at his side. They couldn’t deny their sexual attraction, but he wanted something bigger and better, something strong enough to sustain them as they grew old.

For the first time, he wanted the friendship, the love, and the laughter that married couples shared, but he’d never needed to court a woman before. Usually they threw themselves at him, and before tonight, he’d loved it. Now, becoming a one-gal guy seemed the best thing in the world.

Sex Scandal and the Sheriff 

Blurb

Jasmine Stewart (Jazz to her friends) falls for the blond stranger when he spanks and seduces her at a Washington soiree. Later, when she discovers her flatmate is trying to draw her into a spy ring, she goes to the authorities. The ensuing publicity costs her her job, her security, and her future. Starting over in Westhorpe Ridge is her only option.

Sean Mathews, former SEAL and Westhorpe Ridge’s sheriff, can’t forget the woman he spanked when he visited Washington, but he thinks she’s a spy. When she turns up in Westhorpe Ridge, he tries everything to make her leave town. Despite their misunderstandings, though, they can’t keep their hands off each other.

As Year’s Eve looms, the spy ring resurfaces. Jazz will need all of Sean’s SEAL prowess to survive. But because his wounded leg cost him his speed in the water, will it be enough?
