When she needs help, he’s the last person she would turn to…
Belle Sinclair has recently adopted a stray puppy. It was love at first snuggle. He is the best Christmas present ever. And yet her holiday happiness goes sideways when she hears a siren and spots flashing lights in her rearview mirror.
Sheriff Parker Bishop is a confirmed bachelor. He firmly believes all laws should be obeyed without exception. And so, when he spots the beautiful Belle Sinclair once more committing a moving violation, what choice does he have? He has to pull her over.
But this holiday, Belle’s puppy has gone missing. Suspecting foul play, she has to call on the one man in Kringle Falls who can get under her skin with just a look. This Christmas, will they be able to work past their differences in order to help the puppy? And along the way will they find that opposites just might attract?
Now that she was late for work, Mavis would give her a hard time about leaving for lunch. And Belle had to step out because she had the puppy at home counting on her to give him a potty break. With a sigh, she grabbed her purse and phone. She got out of the car and closed the
door.
She turned and took a step. Her foot landed on ice. In the next instant, her feet slipped out
from under her. It happened so fast the next thing she knew, her backside smacked the ice. Ouch.
She groaned. This day was totally against her. What was it her mother used to say? That
bad things came in threes. She was late for work. She got pulled over. So, did this make her third
bit of bad luck? She hoped so.
A car door closed in the alleyway. Before she could get to her feet, she heard a familiar
voice.
“Belle, are you all right?” Sheriff Bishop rushed to her side. “Do you need an
ambulance?”
He was the very last person she wanted to see, especially in this awkward situation. She frowned at him. “I’m fine.”
