When grumpy ex-cop Tim Bradford moves to a quiet little town to start over, he's only looking for peace and maybe a distraction. He definitely wasn't expecting Lucy Chen-the overly cheerful bartender with a sharp tongue, soft heart, and the power to wreck his carefully guarded walls. What begins with banter turns into undeniable chemistry. But love in a small town isn't always simple-especially with baggage, breakups, heartbreak, healing... and unexpected baby news. From flirty bar nights to surprise proposals, steamy moments, and building a life together (literally), this is a story about second chances, found family, and love that refuses to give up.

He won't ever throw away his integrity like that, no matter the cost. "I don't need that kind of money. I don't even want it," he had told Everett during the arrest, and he hasn't changed his mind on that. "Maintaining my integrity? That's priceless."
