Willow Pond Series

The one bright spot in her past was the Armstrong family, who frequently took her in while her father slept off a stint in the county jail. Or, more specifically, the bright spot was their son Tucker.

These days, second generation county sheriff Tucker Armstrong is better known as “Sheriff Hottie”. Half of Browning’s single female population wants to catch him, but Tucker is old fashioned and isn’t about to settle for just anyone. After he nearly makes a fool of himself during the homecoming parade when he first sees Myla, Tucker decides to use the reunion weekend as a second chance to get close to her.

As Myla forces herself to participate in events she wouldn’t have bothered to attend as a teen, her feelings for Tucker are also reignited. But when a copycat murder places Myla back under Browning’s microscope, she’s forced to relive the horror and suspicion of finding a body. Only this time around she has an alibi – and it’s the sheriff himself.

Tucker’s determined to keep Myla safe, but Myla’s determined to prove that she’s strong enough to stand up for herself this time. Seeking a middle ground, they reunite against an unknown danger, but what they find is so much more than they hoped for.

Veterinarian Heather James is stubborn, spunky, smart, and still hopelessly in love with her lifelong best friend, Law. By high school graduation they had their lives planned out, a plan that included college, careers, marriage, and babies. Lawson’s abrupt departure for the Marine’s was a shock she never anticipated. After a decade of rebuilding her broken heart, she struggled with the idea of forgiving him, but she never stopped loving him either.

Now that Lawson is back in Browning and working as a conservation officer, he’s doing his best to stay away from Heather. With close mutual friends, she is impossible to avoid, and every moment spent together ends in argument or painful longing. It doesn’t help that they’re frequently paired as partners for search and rescue missions with Heather’s trained bloodhound, Frank.

To Heather, it seems that Law is always around to witness her foolishness and tears, and to keep her out of trouble. In a low moment when her pride is wounded, Heather decides to start dating and resolves to keep Lawson at arm’s length. It’s a decision that sets off a chain of events that threatens her safety…and finally pushes Lawson over the edge. He knows that to regain her trust he’ll have to confess his reason for leaving, but doing so could damage her relationship with her family and put him in danger again.

This time he’s not going to walk away without a fight.
