A Cove Creek Christmas: Shelter in Love (Smoky Mountain Christmas Magic Book 2)

When big-city girl Grace Bridges rolls into the tiny town of Cove Creek for her best friend’s wedding, she never expects her first encounter with local law enforcement to land her in jail. Sheriff Clayton Johnson is dead set on teaching the speeding, smart-mouthed newcomer a lesson—especially after she seemingly endangers a local feline.
The sheriff thinks one night in the county lockup should cool Grace’s temper, but instead, it ignites a fiery clash with Clayton. His no-nonsense approach meets her city sass head-on, creating a powder keg of tension that’s equal parts infuriating and irresistible.
When a mountain lion attack and a daring kitten rescue gone wrong trap Grace in a forgotten bomb shelter, she and Clayton are forced into close quarters. With the wedding clock ticking and the bride and groom wondering where their Maid of Honor and Best Man have disappeared to, it’ll take a heroic canine named Mr. Darcy to unravel this small-town Christmas chaos.
Can Grace and Clayton overcome their differences, escape their underground predicament, and make it to the church on time? Or will their stubborn pride and unexpected attraction—derail everything?
