A Hero for Her by Maryann Jordan

The first time they met, they didn’t like each other.
The second time they met, they vowed to stay away from each other.
The third time they met…
Sometimes, the third time is the charm.

Jared’s bad mood had him snap at the beautiful woman on the beach. After another run-in with the rude man, she decided to keep her distance. Of course, in a small town, that was harder to do than she thought it would be. Especially since he worked for the Virginia Marine Police, and she was a water analyzer for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.
But when he has an accident, she’s the one to rush in to help. And when she discovers a dead body, he vows to protect her no matter what.
Yeah… the third time was the charm for two people to find love.

A Baytown Boys sub-series.
Keeping the waterways of the Eastern Shore of Virginia safe, follow along as they find love. Small town romantic suspense.
