Blake Perry is as easygoing as they come—until Roshall Tyson walks into his life and unsettles every quiet corner of it. From the first sharp glance and unexpected smile, she reaches something in him he thought was safely untouched. He tells himself she frustrates him, that keeping his distance is the sensible thing to do, but every encounter leaves him thinking about her warmth, her confidence, and the way the air seems to change whenever she is near.
Roshall wants to keep Sheriff Blake Perry at arm’s length. She really does. But there is something about his steady presence, that calm voice, and the way he looks at her as if he sees straight through every wall she’s built. The harder she tries to deny the pull between them, the more impossible it becomes to ignore. And when longing turns into something deeper, both of them will have to decide whether resisting each other is worth the ache of never knowing what love could become.
