She's a widow, and he's a sheriff almost past his prime. Both believing they are too old to start over, keep their distance, until... Beth Hughes has yearned for the sheriff for two whole years - ever since he arrived in Crystal Springs. As much as she longed to do otherwise, Beth has always kept her distance from the rugged sheriff who has turned her world upside down. Sheriff Wyatt Holt had a hankering for the demure diner owner. On the wrong side of forty, Wyatt kept away, but there was no denying the sparks igniting between them each time they met. Each of them wondered when the flames would be extinguished, yet wishing it could be otherwise. What happens when their world tilts and everything changes? Will the sheriff make the first move, or will Beth instigate the first kiss?
