 One small town. One dead sheriff. A town with secrets. Newly appointed sheriff Trent Stone is investigating the murder of his predecessor. This leads him to Misty Grove, a town lined with innocent diners and general stores, but his gut instinct tells him that nothing is what it seems. It doesn’t help that his first encounter with one of its citizens is at the end of her shotgun. A beautiful hellion. Cassandra Reed is unlike any woman he has ever met. She’s tough and sassy, yet her eyes hold a vulnerability that calls to his protective side. Trent’s dedication to his job has always caused the demise of his previous relationships, so what is it about Cassie now that compels him to risk it all, especially when she has made it clear she doesn’t need his protection? When Cassie brushes off injuries from a suspicious incident, Trent’s need to serve and protect deepens into an alarming obsession over a woman who challenges his every instinct of self-preservation. Staying away from her is not an option, and he will be damned if he lets Cassie deny the growing attraction between them. But when the town’s secrets are revealed, he discovers he’s in over his head. As a mere sheriff, the menace that looms over Misty Grove is way above his pay grade. Before the threat can rip away the woman who has come to mean everything to him, Trent will have to make a tough decision. One that will give him and Cassie a fighting chance at a future together. *Strong sexual content and language. Can be read as a standalone, but may leave questions about secondary characters who will become the protagonists in upcoming books.

Excerpt:

“You need to stop treating me like glass, Sheriff.” Her breath fanned the back of his ear while one hand trailed down the ridges of his abs, sending a bolt of lust spearing through his body. Trent twisted, and grabbed her neck, bringing her in for a quick, hard kiss. Then he broke free and sprung away from the bed as if it was on fire. He was breathing heavily. “You’re not ready for this.”
Cassie sighed in irritation. “Yes, I am.”
“Well, I’m not ready.”
Cassie tilted her head and stared right at his dick, raising a brow. “I think your cock begs to differ.”
“He’s an idiot.”
“Trent, I’m trying real hard to be patient here. If it wasn’t for your impressive erection, I’d be a little hurt and think you’re not attracted to me anymore.”
“That’s farthest from the truth.” Trent huffed out a mirthless laugh. “You of all people should know how crazy I am about you. I’m fucking in love with you, dammit!”
“Then talk to me. Tell me what’s bothering you.”
“I would if I knew exactly what it is. It’s just this unsettled feeling in my stomach waiting for the other shoe to drop.”
Cassie leaned over and switched on the night lamp, swinging her leg to sit on the side of the bed. The look of tenderness in her eyes almost sent him crashing to his knees.
“I can sleep soundly tonight because you’re here right beside me,” Cassie said softly. “You make me feel safe, Trent, and I know you’d protect me with everything you’ve got.”
Trent dropped to his knees anyway, spreading her thighs apart and replacing the space between them with his body. His hands cupped her face.
“I’d give my life to protect you,” he said fiercely.
“And I would do the same for you. I hope you know that,” Cassie responded just as fiercely.
“Don’t say that!”
A look of bafflement crossed her face. “Why not? It’s true—”
“Because I couldn’t stand it if you got hurt.” His words came out like a wounded growl.
“Trent. You’ve been doing so well not keeping me in a cage,” Cassie said sharply. “Don’t start now.”
“Then tell me how to love you, because I don’t want to fucking lose you!”

excerpt_fc_smaller   About Victoria Paige: I work as a freelance database administrator, and when I’m not geeking out, I write romantic suspense novels. I live in Richmond, Va—less than two hours away from Washington DC—so most of the settings of my books are in the nation’s capital—of course, I’m not averse to creating fictional towns and cities. When I’m not arguing with the alpha male characters in my head, I love to watch high-octane action movies. I think Jack Bauer is the shit, which is why most of my characters are such badasses bent on saving the world from evil doers. I love reading adult contemporary, paranormal, urban fantasy, historical, romantic suspense, and a few new adult fiction as well as military non-fiction.
