THE SHERIFF CATCHES A BRIDE

BLURB:
When county sheriff Cab Johnson
gets a hunch, he's learned to trust it, and his hunch tells him Rose Bellingham
is in a peck of trouble. Bad enough he's in love with her, bad enough she's
already engaged to Jason Thayer. He's got to figure out what she's hiding
before he loses her for good.
Rose can't stand one more person meddling in her business,
even if that person is a handsome, eligible sheriff. She's been controlled for
far too long. But since her fiancé's father is both her boss and landlord, she
can't dump Jason until she's got somewhere to run. She's found the perfect
place: a patch of forest outside town. But with Cab watching her every move,
she's hard pressed to finish her hideaway so she can make her escape.
Meanwhile, she's not the only one with problems. Can she find a way to help her
friends, too?
Just when Cab solves one mystery, more pop up. Where does
Rose keep disappearing to? What's wrong with Mia Start? Why is Hannah Chatham
lying to her fiancé? At least he's let Rose know he's interested. And if he's
not mistaken, she's interested, too.
Rose's hideaway is perfect, until her friends invade it to
escape their own troubles. Can she trust them to keep its whereabouts a secret?
Does she want to hide from Cab anymore? Now that Jason's out of the picture, is
it safe to follow her heart?
When two unexpected visitors arrive with secrets of their
own, Chance Creek must brace for its deadliest night ever. Can Cab figure out
the connections between all the mysteries fast enough?
Or will Rose and her friends pay the ultimate price?

Excerpt 3
Cab
shifted, distracting her. He was so close. Too close. She had sat at one end of
the couch and expected Cab to take the other end, but to her surprise he sat
down right beside her. And since he was probably a hundred pounds heavier than
her, he put a significant dent in the cushion that left her sitting on an
incline. As much as she tried to hold her ground she kept sliding toward him.
He
shifted again and she slid some more until their thighs touched. Rose held her
breath, aware of the man beside her in a way she wasn’t sure she’d ever been
with Jason. His long legs, encased in faded jeans, played havoc with her
nervous system. Everything about Cab was masculine and it made her want to melt
against him. In the early days she must have felt something similar for Jason.
Now when she thought of him she didn’t feel a thing.
She
felt something for Cab, though. Touch me, she thought at him. Go on. Touch me.
He
shifted a third time and she found her cheek nearly pressed against his arm.
“Hello,”
he said, looking down at her and chuckling, his voice a low rumble.
“I’m
not trying to make a move on you. I just keep sliding,” she said.
“Well,
come here, then,” he said, and she shivered in anticipation. What did he have
in mind? He lifted his arm and wrapped it around her shoulders, pulling her
even closer. “Comfy?”
His
voice, a sexy murmur, shot right through her. “Um… yeah,” she said. She was
comfy. She could hear Cab’s heartbeat where she leaned against him. Slow and
steady. Strong. She let out her breath in an uneven sigh. She wasn’t sure what
they were doing here. She might not be making a move, but it sure seemed like
Cab was.
She
wished he would. Kiss me.
He
brushed his fingers down her arm and laced them between hers, and for one heart
stopping second she thought he would bend down and kiss her. Instead, he
sighed, tugged her ring gently and let go of her hand.

Thanks for hosting! Cab is one of my favorite characters and his story was so much fun to write.
I want to let people know that Vol. 7 in the series--The Cowboy Rescues a Bride--will release on May 4.
I am also writing a follow on series called The Heroes of Chance Creek. Book 1 - The Navy SEAL's E-Mail Order Bride - is available now in the SEALs of Summer box set. http://amzn.to/1t0xe0P
I'm hooked on both series you have out. I'm just sitting here patiently for the next book to be released.
