Hot Lovin’ by Violet Rae

Quinn
The folks of Sunrise Bay see me as a brooding sheriff, but grumpy comes with territory after years of seeing the worst in people. I thought I had life figured out until a pretty young thing with golden locks and tempting curves stumbles into the coffee shop, turning a mishap into the highlight of my day.
Lottie’s on a mission, and it’s more than just stealing my heart. With her compassionate spirit and huge heart, she’s a force to be reckoned with, diving headfirst into a case that tugs at heartstrings. And I’m right there with her, determined to help uncover the truth behind a little boy’s recurring hospital stays while we navigate the attraction between us.
Lottie’s unwavering optimism cracks my tough exterior, revealing a softer side I never knew existed. She’s not simply bringing light to my life; she’s becoming the beacon of hope I never knew I needed.
But just when things start to sizzle, danger lurks in the shadows. With everything I hold dear on the line, I race against time to protect my newfound family. And I’ll be damned if I let anything tear us apart.
