Small-Town Face-Off (Tyler Snell Anne).

Для этого представителя закона всё решится в округе Райкер. Присягнувший защищать и служить, шериф Билли Рид посвятил свою карьеру долгу. Но он никогда не мог забыть Мару Коупленд, женщину, которая ушла без прощания и ранила его, не предупредив. Теперь она вернулась с преступниками на хвосте и ребенком на руках. Его ребенком.

Мара не доверяла тому будущему, которое у нее могло быть с Билли. Он - представитель закона, а она родилась в мире безжалостных преступников. Тем не менее, он - тот, к кому она может обратиться. Он сделает всё, чтобы защитить их дочь, но станет ли любовь достаточной причиной, чтобы Мара простила его и воссоединила их семью?

Если эта книга может вас заинтересовать, вот описание, которое я сделал:

In Tyler Snell's "Small-Town Face Off", Sheriff Reed has started to forget about Mara Copelan, the love of his life who left him when she found out he was a police officer. Then she returns with a missing criminal at large, daughter in tow. Their history is poisoned, but the father still loves the mother, and these three people must now fight for the peace of their little town in Riker county.

Billy Reed is a sheriff trying to keep the town apolitical, protecting them from hard times. "Mara" is Mara Copeln, a former resort chef/bartender who disappeared years ago with her most hated rival. She now looks like this because she owns the money of the criminal she ran away from and had to take refuge locally in a closed town far from prying eyes. The missing criminal is not decorative baggage and the townspeople are terrified. Multiple attempts at luring Mara away happen, with Reed leading them all along.

Mara is scared. Lucky she truly brought her daughter with her and isn't letting her go. Throughout the novel, cutaways to Rachel's school, activities and fights devote how the younger Copeln sister grew beside her mother in need and also the complicated relationship between Rachel and her own father. It will be even more complicated when they fight over the rules of the newly apparent union.
