Curves and the Sheriff (BBW Romance - Coldwater Springs 2)
When Libby Grant breezes into Coldwater Springs, Wyoming, the last thing she expects is to be pulled over on the highway by Sheriff Jake Morgan. Sparks fly when Jake suspects her of being a con-artist and is tempted to arrest her!
But when he discovers the real reason she€s in town, he finds he can€t get curvy Libby out of his mind - or his heart. Can he convince her that his feelings for her are real?
EXCERPT:
Jake stepped outside. €œLibby?€ Damned if he was going to call her Miss Grant again. Since she and Sarah were close friends as well as cousins, he guessed he€d be seeing a lot more of her if he still wanted to hang out with Chase.
He spotted a movement in the dark and walked towards it. €œSarah wants you inside for the toast.€Â
Libby froze at the sound of his voice. What was he doing out here? Deep breath. €œOkay,€ she called out. She turned around quickly to face him and felt herself slipping on the slick path. €œOhh!€ Her arms flailed in the air as she tried to maintain her balance.
€œI€ve got you.€ Strong arms wrapped around her, steadying her, making her feel safe and protected.
Libby clutched his shoulders, catching her balance. Breathing in his scent of smooth leather, her pulse beat erratically when she realized she€d started to relax in his embrace.
€œThank you.€ She looked up at him in the darkness, her breathing shallow.
Tall, lean muscular. It felt good to be in his arms. So good she didn€t want to leave them. Not her type, she reminded herself. And she probably wasn€t his. Before she could wonder why that thought disappointed her, he cupped her face in his hands. Libby held her breath for a split second. His lips descended on hers.
