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.
