Reluctant Officer's Christmas Romance
(2026)(The ninth book in the Holiday Christmas Romance Nights series)
A Story by Betrice Clayton
She built sensors that read the river’s secrets.
He wore a badge that kept the whole town breathing.
One spike on the data feed.
One note left in the case.
And suddenly someone wanted them both out of the way.
She needs three days to save her project.
He needs to protect a hundred hearts from whatever’s coming.
Neither expects the collision of duty, danger, and heat.
They fight over permits.
They clash over boundaries.
And somewhere between the arguments, wanting slips in.
Sweaters get traded.
A kiss sparks under the generator’s low hum.
Chain of custody becomes a chain of inches—too close, too necessary.
They track tamper logs and late-night vans.
Every discovery turns the temperature up, even as winter closes in.
Trust frays. Duty bends.
The town watches like a match hovering over a fuse.
Data, danger, and desire crash together—
and the touch that could ruin them might be the one thing that saves them.
Step into their winter. Stay for the heat that won’t back down.
