Claiming the Grump

She picked him out of a lineup. He hadn’t been looking for anyone to pick.
Keith Larsson came to Maple Lane Falls to do a job—chief deputy, new town, no complications. He has the cobwebs to prove it didn’t go to plan. Rachel Grant is in town for a bachelorette party that peaked at the airport, bored out of her mind, and has decided that the only interesting man in the room is the one who hasn’t smiled once. She’s right about him being interesting. She’s wrong about him being uncomplicated.

Because Rachel is three weeks out from testifying against a corrupt cop, and someone has just walked into Keith’s station claiming she’s the problem.
Keith has talked to enough liars to know what one sounds like. He believes Rachel before he has the whole story. What he can’t control is the rest of Maple Lane Falls catching up—or the man who drove six hundred miles to make sure she never makes it to that courtroom.

Perfect for readers who want a heroine who isn’t afraid to ask for what she wants, a hero who listens more than he talks, and will take a bullet for his woman without making a fuss about it.
