When I asked my sister's best friend to help me start a men's book club, I never expected to fall for Marigold. But as the town sheriff, I’ve always kept my distance from relationships. My job is too demanding, and I couldn’t risk dragging someone into the chaos of my life—especially not a sweet, quiet librarian like her.
Despite my best intentions, we couldn’t stay away from each other. We rode bikes, swapped book recommendations, and adopted a puppy. When she calls me in the middle of a crisis one night, we share a passionate fling that feels like the beginning of something unforgettable.
The only problem? I need to keep our relationship a secret, and I know deep down that it can’t last. As much as I want her, I can’t be the man she deserves. But how can I let go of the woman who has quickly become everything to me?
