Small-Town Sheriff's Plus Size Secret
(2026)(Book 11 in the Plus Size Passion Chronicles series)
A novel by Betrice Clayton
How did a quiet sheriff become my forbidden kiss while the whole town watches us burn?
I am just a teacher with chalk on my fingers until he finds me by the river with guarded eyes and a pull I can’t ignore.
He is off-limits and irresistible, the man who keeps everyone safe while struggling to protect his own heart.
One stolen kiss and one cruel photo trap us in forced proximity as rumors start clawing at my classroom door.
A note appears, politics sharpen, and suddenly every glance feels like evidence.
Three moments undo me: his steady hand at my waist when fear hits, his quiet support when my students become targets of gossip, and the way he refuses to let me face the town alone.
That is when I realize I have fallen for him, just as secrets from his past surface and threats start arriving in envelopes.
Now he has to choose between his badge and me.
If he confesses in public, he could lose everything—or I could lose the life I built to protect my students.
Genre: Romance
