Will he pass the daddy test?
With his job in jeopardy, it couldn’t be a worse time for Sheriff Nate Landry’s recent past to come back to haunt him. But it would take an army to stop SWAT team leader Julie Smith. The fellow cop—and sister of his ex-fiancée—wants one thing from the beleaguered lawman: custody of the toddler son that Nate didn’t know he had.
He may not be natural daddy material, but he quickly takes a shine to little Duke. And then there are the feelings Nate’s been hiding for years. Only now Julie’s running for sheriff of Harmony Valley—against him. Time to retreat? Not if he wants a future with the woman he loves.

“Ladies and gentlemen,” Doris said in her high-pitched, grating voice. “We should be proud of many things in our community. The wonderful festivals we have. The resurgence of new businesses. And the low crime rate. But that isn’t good enough.”
Not good enough? The little black rain cloud over Nate’s head sucked the oxygen from the old church.
“In this age of police misconduct, the people need a voice.” Doris had a death grip on the podium.
Nate thought it might be his death she planned.
“Can’t see,” came a little voice from behind Nate.
That innocent voice. It broke through the cloud.
Clop-clump.
It sounded like the tyke stood on the next pew back.
“That better, Juju.” A small hand landed on Nate’s shoulder. “Hi.” Hot breath gusted in Nate’s ear.
Nate glanced over his shoulder into a pair of large gray eyes framed by a dark mop of hair. He’d never seen the toddler before, but the boy was cute and most likely the reason for the curious stares a few minutes ago.
Across the aisle, Old Man Takata beamed at the tyke and tapped the shoulder of his neighbor, Snarky Sam, who owned the antiques/used goods store on Main Street. Sam’s smiles were rare. And yet, he gave the kid a toothy grin.
The little boy touched his forehead to Nate’s and repeated, “Hi.”
“Hey,” Nate said softly, unable to resist returning the boy’s impish smile. “Be careful.”
Feminine hands curled around the boy’s torso and drew him back. Nate began to twist around to see who the hands belonged to when Flynn spoke next to him. “Do you think Doris would be more respectful of you if you wore a uniform?” Even in a whisper, Flynn sounded like he was enjoying this more than Nate. Of course, Flynn wasn’t the sheriff. He was part-owner of a winery.
“I don’t need a uniform,” Nate whispered back, not enjoying this at all. He’d rather be chasing chickens. “I have a star on my truck and a badge in my pocket.”
Oh, boy. Nate doesn’t realize he needs a lot more than that to run for sheriff.
