Letting Loose — Sue Civil-Brown

EDEN IS NOT ALL IT'S CRACKED UP TO BE...

Jillie McAllister escaped to Paradise Beach to start over somewhere beautiful and far away from her philandering ex-husband. But she's already lost her job, run over a mailbox, become embroiled in a heated small-town controversy and run afoul of the local law in the person of the good-looking Chief of Police Blaise Corrigan.

BUT WITH A LITTLE LOVE, IT CAN BE HEAVEN.

Jillie just wants to settle down and open a bookstore. Instead she's raising ire and eyebrows, most notably the Chief's. But the better Blaise gets to know his sometimes saucy, sometimes timid, always disarmingly honest new neighbor, the better he likes her. The caring cop's tenderness and obvious desire for Jillie are like a soothing balm to her battered soul, and a possible cure for all her troubles in paradise--even when her unwanted former spouse reappears to send her life into further turmoil. But Jillie is determined to weather the emotional storm, because her destiny has brought her to this magical place and wonderful new man. And her heart is begging her to stay.
