Protected by the Ex-Military Sheriff
(2026)(The eighth book in the Curvy Wives of Blackwater Falls series)
A novel by Zoey Rose
The sheriff who saves me from a rotting rental house has no idea he's also saving me from a monster.
When the bus stopped in Blackwater Falls, I thought I'd found sanctuary: a forgotten town where my abusive ex would never think to look. The rental I found online turned out to be a mold-infested disaster, and I was struggling with too many bags and a tired four-year-old when a broad-shouldered man with a badge appeared.
Tom Harris is everything Derek wasn't. Patient where my ex was cruel. Protective where he was possessive. The ex-military sheriff sees past my fear to something I'd forgotten existed—desire.
For the first time in five years, I'm letting someone in. Letting him see me, touch me, claim me in ways that terrify and thrill me in equal measure.
But am I falling for my protector, or am I just trading one form of dependence for another?
Protected by the Ex-Military Sheriff is a short, sweet, and steamy small town instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Curvy Wives of Blackwater Falls series.
Genre: Romance
