Bachelor Sheriff by Paula Graves

In Paula Graves’s Bachelor Sheriff, Sheriff Aaron Cooper, a man of duty and justice, can’t foresee trading his bachelor ways for love. So when he offers an innocent Melissa Draper protection, he doesn’t realize what he’s signed up for. His cop instincts urge him to stop at nothing to keep the beautiful, passionate woman safe.

But the fact that she’s suddenly become a target makes him wonder just what she’s hiding–from him and from the investigation. Slowly, as Melissa opens up and reveals the horrors of her violent past, Aaron’s heart races with the need to make her forget. Even if that means keeping her with him, away from danger…night after night….

As a child, Paula Graves’s favorite books were Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew mysteries and Harlequin Romances. When she realized there were books that featured both romance and mystery, she knew she’d found her calling. Now Paula writes for Harlequin Intrigue, where she gets to play both matchmaker and murderer and has a blast doing it.
