    About this ebook

    Liv

    I just moved into a cute house but didn't count on my new neighbor being a dangerous felon. Things are so bad that I'm scared for my life. Thank goodness the sheriff shows up right in time to save me.

     

    The more I get to know him, the harder I long for him. Derek's everything I want in a man: hot, strong, driven, and kind. I know he wants me too, but something is holding him back from giving in to his feelings.

     

    Derek

    A police intervention is always risky, even in a small mountain town like Trout Creek. You never know who or what you will run into. When I arrive at the scene and lock eyes with the curvy beauty who made the emergency call, my whole world spins on its axis. From now on, protecting her is my main concern. There's no way in hell I will ever let anyone threaten her safety again.

     

    I know she's meant to be mine, but will she still want me when she finds out about my troubled past?

     

    Taught by the Sheriff is a steamy short instalove romance full of heat and heart with NO cliffhanger, NO cheating, and a Guaranteed HEA. This book is part of First Times in Trout Creek, a steamy romance series set in a small mountain town where every insanely hot guy finds a sweet & inexperienced curvy woman to love.

      Chapter One

      Liv

      Friday night couldn’t have come soon enough this week. After starting a new job on Monday, my head is spinning with an overload of information and names. Don’t get me wrong, working at the local library is a dream come true, but starting somewhere new is always exhausting, especially when you’re driven to do a top-notch job.

      After a refreshing shower, I change into my summer pajamas and grab my current read from the side table—a steamy pirate romance. I make myself comfortable on the couch and open a bag of chips, ready to dive into my book.

      Forgetting about the real world is all I want right now, but before I do, I fire off a message to my friend, Jules, who lives two doors down. She and her husband, Rafe, are enjoying a romantic holiday together. They asked me to look after the house and bookshop while they’re away.

      I text her about watering the plants and putting the mail on the kitchen counter. She doesn’t reply, but I don’t take it personally. I know my bestie is too busy enjoying her husband’s company to glance at her phone. If I had a man who adored me like Rafe adores her, I wouldn’t be able to keep my hands off him either. Unfortunately, I’m still single as can be. At least I’ve got an imaginary sexy
