He wears the badge. She wears a lie.
When the sheriff starts looking too closely, which will give first—the truth or their restraint?

Delaney Brooks arrives in Pine Bluff under a borrowed name and a bruised past, determined to disappear behind the counter of the Sunset Diner. Sheriff Callum Hayes notices everything—her steady hands, her restless eyes, the way danger seems to trail her like shadow at dusk. Their pull is instant, wrong, irresistible. As a ghost from Delaney's past resurfaces with threats and proof, the small town tightens into a trap: one wrong move will cost her freedom, and trusting the wrong man will cost her heart. Callum has sworn to protect his town, but keeping Delaney safe means breaking rules—his and hers—and inviting a storm that could strip them both bare. Heat sparks into something fierce and tender, even as secrets multiply and the clock runs down.
Stealing from the Sheriff is a gritty, small-town romantic suspense about a woman trying to outrun her history and the lawman who sees the truth—and wants her anyway. Expect sharp banter, stolen kisses, and a race to redemption where love might be the most dangerous confession of all.
