Armed and Disarming — Rosemarie Naramore

Melody Hudson is a dedicated police officer, and she loves her life on the force. When her former neighbor, Chase Carter, returns to town to take a position as principal of the local high school, chance throws Melody and Chase together often in their respective professional roles and sparks begin to fly.

Melody would rather forget her childhood with Chase. To her chagrin, as a young teen, she followed Chase around like a puppy, even proposing to him just before he left for college. Meanwhile, after seeing a decidedly grown up Melody, Chase is enchanted, and he soon falls hard for the feisty beauty.

Despite her attraction to the handsome principal, Melody isn't sure she's ready for a commitment -- nor is she sure Chase is ready for a relationship with a hard-working police officer. Will the matchmaking efforts of their parents and their small town reconcile these two local figures to both the past and the present?
