BLURB EXCERPT
Escaping from her abusive ex-husband, Marissa Simpson returns to her hometown to start over. She spends her days working at the local jewelry store, and the rest of her time is dedicated to mining along Red Rock River, searching for precious gems. Marissa has no intention of getting involved with another man, or with the community she left behind all those years ago. That is until Riley McCade shows up.
Riley is the Sheriff of Quartz County. He loves his community and goes out of his way to protect and serve. When he meets up with Marissa, he’ s bound and determined to get to know her even though she insists she’ s not interested.
The more he gets to know her, the more he learns about her past. Can he protect her from her ex-husband and earn her love?
Reviews Welcome.
Riley guided Marissa so she was on her back and he was partially on her. His Stetson concealed their faces. They continued to kiss and touch, looking lovingly at each other, and then kiss again.
The fireworks lasted for fifteen minutes, and suddenly a flashlight shone on them and voices interrupted them. Three firefighters stood in front of them singing a line from Burning Love. Riley and Marissa quickly broke apart.“ What the hell?” Riley said. A hint of irritation laced his voice. He abruptly stood up, grabbed Marissa’ s hand, and pulled her up.
“ We were told that there was sparks on the ground, and we were asked to put it out,” Mitch said, laughing.“ Just who the hell told you that?” Riley asked.“ Heidi,” John, the second firefighter, said with an amused smile on his face. Riley and Marissa shot Heidi a glance.“ We can see that the sparks have been put out so we’ ll head back to the truck.” Mitch smiled even wider.
