Under Pressure

Summary

As sheriff of Redwood Ridge, Parker Maloney has learned to bite his tongue at the ridiculous antics of the town's matchmakers.

He's just grateful that they’ve never messed with him before. Except it seems like he’s their next target. They keep sending him on one wild goose chase after another with a single common denominator—Madeline Freemont.

Maddie spent their youth terrorizing him, and he has zero interest in reopening the claw marks, no matter how beautiful or intuitive or funny he finds her. He is laying down the law on this one. Yet there’s something to her hot-as-hell spine-of-steel act he can’t figure out, and shes beginning to unlock the cell on his restraint.

Maddie Freemont is no newcomer to the cold shoulder. Most of the town never warmed up to her, nor tried to. So when her ex leaves her high, dry, and so in debt that she’s forced onto the street, it’s no shock there aren’t any offered helping hands. She is making due by taking any odd job she can to scrape by

Even though she would’ve done anything for Parker’s attention once upon a time, the last thing she needs is to be on his radar now. Why they suddenly keep crossing paths is a mystery. But it’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore his handsome, subtle charms—and how he’s working his way under her resolve to expose desires that she long ago shoved aside.

Contains mature themes.
