    About this ebook

    Tough, taciturn and wounded in ways that no one else knows about, Marietta rancher and part-time Deputy Sheriff Logan Tate is a man in total control of his life. Until he catches British photographer Charlotte Foster hitchhiking and ‘insists’ she gets a ride into town in his squad car…

    After her run-in with Deputy Hardass, Charlie Foster is ready to ride her thumb right back out of Marietta the very next day. But that night, a trip to Grey’s Saloon fires up her imagination – and her wild side – when she overhears the town’s first responders panicking over how to come up with the money needed to repair Harry's House in just 90 days.

    Charlie has an ingenious solution to their problem, that might just require her to photograph twelve smokin’ hot guys naked. And, as luck would have it, also involves getting some much needed payback on Deputy Hardass–who isn't too enthusiastic about participating in the calendar shoot.

    But as he spends more time with Charlie, Logan can't ignore the chemistry sizzling between them. Can a man who lives by the rules fall in love with a woman who breaks all of his?

    Heidi Rice

    USA Today bestselling author Heidi Rice used to work as a film journalist until she found a new dream job writing romance for Harlequin in 2007. She adores getting swept up in a world of high emotions, sensual excitement, funny feisty women, sexy tortured men and glamourous locations where laundry doesn't exist. She lives in London, England with her husband, two sons and lots of other gorgeous men who exist entirely in her imagination (unlike the laundry, unfortunately!)

      This Goldilocks found Ms. Rice's book not too cold, not too hot - but juuuust right! The worn backstory of the characters melts away quickly. They are relatably self-aware and humble, not arrogantly broken. Charlie and Logan are truly good to each other, sexing in a refreshingly healthy, real-life and loving way. We like these intelligent people and there is no confusion about whether it's OK to root for their HEA. After all of the envelope-pushing erotica in romance, this book offers a weld-worthy hot alternative. You won't even f*king realize the F-word is MIA, in this story.
    • 5/5
      Sweet, Steamy, and oh so Dreamy, Tempting the Deputy is a hot little book you don't want to miss.
