Pulse humming, Kristen came face-

to-face with the man who’d arrested her the night before.

“Is there a problem, Chief?”

“Alex, please.”

“Why would you think that?”

“This is the second time today you stopped in front of the store like you were casing it. Or maybe you’re expecting me to be doing something not to your liking. Maybe you just want to arrest me again.”

The way he was staring at her so intently, as if he wanted to say something but was reluctant, made her mouth go dry.

Then a slow easy grin lit his face. “Will you have dinner with me?”

Kristen swallowed hard. She’d had a purpose in moving to Sparrow Lake, and it certainly wasn’t romance. No matter how tempting this man in uniform was, getting involved would just complicate things.
