Sweet Surrender by C.M. Steele

Derek: Being a single dad has never been easy, but I’ve never regretted my decision to keep my daughter and raise her alone. I regret how it happened, but never her. Now that she’s grown, maybe I should start looking for the one who will make me happy. The one problem is, I’ve already found her, but she’s way too young for me. I want her to the point of madness. I want to love her and make a family with her, but instead, I’ll keep watching her from a short distance.

Tracy: Why does he do this to me? He’s a hardheaded jerk, but I can’t let my feelings for the sheriff go. He’s always around, but I guess living in a small town it’s only natural. I wish that he wouldn’t though because my heart can’t take this. Leaving town may be my best bet, but I don’t think I have it in me to leave. Something has to give. Will they finally admit their feelings, or will they miss their greatest opportunity to be happy?
