Sheriff's Claim

Forty looks a lot like lonely—until she makes me believe in love again. 

I’ve made peace with my life. Sheriff. Forty. Divorced. No kids. My duty is to Silver County, not love. At least that’s what I tell myself every morning when I order coffee at The Copper Cup just to catch the smile of the woman behind the counter. 

Emily Hopewell came home to Copperwood with one dream—raise her daughter and keep her late mother’s shop alive. But her ex’s return has only brought more control, broken promises, and bruised trust. 

The night I answer a domestic disturbance call at Emily’s, everything changes. She’s shaken. Her daughter’s terrified. I vow no man will ever hurt them again. 

What starts as protection turns into something hotter, deeper, impossible to ignore. Emily’s been burned before, but I’m not just the sheriff—I’m the man willing to risk everything to give her a safe haven, a second chance, and the kind of forever she’s only dared to dream about. 

Sheriff’s Claim is a steamy, later-in-life instalove romance featuring a gruff but protective small-town sheriff, a single mom reclaiming her freedom, small-town gossip and brotherly banter, grit, heat, and a forever promise that comes fast and fierce.

Welcome to Silver County, Montana—where rugged mountains, small-town gossip, and second chances are part of everyday life. 

Here, later-in-life heroes fall hard and fast. They’re sheriffs, ranchers, fire chiefs, and soldiers—men who protect fiercely, love deeply, and aren’t afraid to claim forever when the right woman walks into their lives. 

From a protective sheriff vowing to keep a single mom safe… 

To a widowed rancher discovering love again with the girl next door… 

To a fire chief risking his heart for a woman who challenges him at every turn… 

And a wounded soldier finding healing in the arms of someone who refuses to give up on him— 

Each story is steamy, heartfelt, and packed with instalove intensity, brotherly banter, and the kind of happily-ever-after that only gets better with age.
