Bidding Wars by Lacey Wolfe
Love Strikes, Book 1
A sheriff plus a nurse
plus a house equals trouble…
Nurse Molly Harper has
had a tough year. But when she decides to regain control of her life, buying
her dream house becomes her first priority. Finding the perfect house and
falling in love with it—that’s the easy part. The hard part is getting rid of
the obnoxious man who thinks he’s going to be the new owner. Even if he is
gorgeous. And the sheriff…
Sheriff Luke Logan needs
to buy a house. Getting out of the renting game will help in the custody battle
for his son, so when the perfect place pops up right on his street, he can’t
believe his luck. But there’s already an offer on the table, and the woman
won’t back down. Too bad she doesn’t know that he always goes after what he
wants, and he has no intention of letting her have “his” house. Even if she
does make him feel that he might need more than just a house to make a home…
Excerpt:
Luke
stared at the papers in front of him. His real estate agent had faxed them
over. Apparently, more than one person wanted the place on Maple Street, and he
now needed to decide if he wanted to offer any higher.
He’d
really liked the old house. It would be great for when his son came to visit
every other weekend. But now he had to decide how badly he wanted the place. Of
course, this could be some gimmick from the sellers. They knew what a gem they
had there and probably wanted the most they could get. He had forty-eight hours
to come up with his new offer, if he decided to. He already had a good offer on
the house—but was it good enough? He rubbed his temples and brushed the papers
to the side of his desk. If he didn’t get it, there were other homes.
Some
sort of commotion was coming from the front of the station. It was always
something. Sometimes he wished that one day at work could be slow and boring.
Perhaps he should have chosen a different profession.
He
went to see what was going on. At the front desk, he found a very
familiar-looking brunette demanding to talk to someone. Women were never
patient when they needed something.
“Ma’am,
calm down. I’m Sheriff Logan. Can I help you?”
The
woman looked him square in the eye. “You! You’re who I am looking for.”
He
flinched beneath her bold, accusing stare. “Why don’t we go back to my office,
and we’ll see what I can help you with.”
She
followed him down the hall, her heels clicking loudly on the tiled floor. This
woman was really uptight. He took a seat and pointed toward the chair in front
of his desk, but she didn’t sit. She looked as though she was ready to burst.
“I
won’t be here long enough to get comfortable.”
“Tell
me what’s going on.”
“You’re
trying to steal my house,” she snapped.
