So, it turns out the town sheriff is a total cinnamon roll.

A big, burly, grump, hot as sin cinnamon roll. When he finds me trespassing on private property, I lie and tell him I am only there because I am out of cash and have to sleep in my car.

I thought he'd give me a ticket and send me on my way.

Instead, he insists that I stay in his guest house-right next door to him and his three kids.

I know better than anyone than to let them get close. I've been betrayed too many times to put my trust in anyone.

Too bad the air crackles every time he comes near, and Ifeel like Im' going to burn up every time he looks at me with those warm, brown eyes.

All it takes is one reckless night to completely spiral into the bliss of the man and his big, capable hands. One dinner with his little family to completely fall.

Only Inever told him why Ireally came to Time River, and now I have to choose to trust him with my secret before it's too late for both of us...
