I fell in love with the federal agent investigating my business for smuggling.

A grumpy Texas Ranger walks into my beach shop like he owns it, all boots, badge and suspicious stares.

He thinks I'm running stolen goods through Sovereign Treasures.

I should hate him for it.

Instead, I keep finding excuses to be near him, watching those careful hands examine my imported shells like he's memorizing every detail.

The way he saved that drowning man without hesitation, risking his own life in those brutal waves.

Then he brings me daisies and a $500 chocolate bar.

We walk the moonlit beach together.

When he almost kisses me, I forget he's supposed to be my enemy.

And right when I start to fall for him, he arrests my employee for credit card fraud, claims she's been stealing from my customers for months.

I have to choose between the woman employee I've trusted for ten years and the man I'm falling for.

If I defend her, I lose him forever.
