The County Line

Molly Patrick swore she’d never come back to her hometown of Whitewood Creek North Carolina. But ten years later, she’s traded New Orleans city streets for a small-town police badge—and she’s doing just fine.

Until Colt Marshall shows up.

Her brother’s best friend.

Her forbidden first crush.

Fresh out of prison and somehow even more dangerous to her heart than before.

Because now, she’s his parole officer.

Molly Patrick swore she’d never come back to her hometown of Whitewood Creek North Carolina. But ten years later, she’s traded New Orleans city streets for a small-town police badge—and she’s doing just fine.

Until Colt Marshall shows up.

Her brother’s best friend.

Her forbidden first crush.

Fresh out of prison and somehow even more dangerous to her heart than before.

Because now, she’s his parole officer.

Colt:

The county line is my limit.

Travel past there, and I could be arrested for breaking my parole.

But like everything I’ve encountered in life, limits are meant to be tested.

How far am I really willing to go to get what I want? To get to the woman that I love?

She’s always been my best friend’s little sister—a pretty face I’d only let myself notice in passing.

To her, I’m just danger: the guy who’s come back from the dead with a one-way ticket back to prison.

Molly:

He’s always been my brother’s reckless partner-in-crime, stirring up trouble in our small North Carolina town.

To him, I’m still the fragile little girl he remembers—needing protection, now newly divorced, worn down, and looking for somewhere safe to land.

Until one day we both fall apart together and realize, maybe finding each other again is the reckoning that we both need.

This is book 2 in the Whitewood Creek Farm series but can be read as a true standalone.
