Small town sheriff Jarrod Weston dedicates his life to protecting the citizens of Harmony, Texas-the sweet and lively new-to-town single mom included. She's the opposite of him in every way; he's drawn to her vibrance, putting his serious ways and routines at risk for a chance at love.

***

For over a year Jarrod has been waiting for the single mother to be ready to date after a divorce left her alone and vulnerable. Raised by a single mom himself, he respects her situation, giving her time and space to navigate her complicated life. Waiting doesn't mean he can keep his hands or lips to himself-she's too irresistible for that kind of patience.

Tarah Sloan is a work in progress, embracing her new status as a full-time single mom with no social life and recovering her financial independence. Balancing her responsibilities is next to impossible with the gorgeous sheriff close by. He's there whenever she needs him, protecting her from a controlling ex-husband, listening to her vent when her estranged dad reappears, and spending time with her son.

Will their love be strong enough to survive the turbulence of life and the complexity of blending families to find a happy ending?
