Needing Your Love: A Gay Small Town Age Gap Romance. Pippen Creek, #2

When my ex-wife left me financially ruined a decade ago, I became suspicious of everyone and swore off relationships. But pure temptation in skin-tight jeans, a crop top, and lip gloss has shown up in our small town, making me question that commitment. Jimmy Riley was always getting into trouble as a teenager, and as Pippen Creek's chief of police, it was my responsibility to step in when his need for attention spiraled out of control. And now? Behind his façade, he is still broken, starved for connection, and desperate for praise, calling out to my desire to nurture.
But he is also dead set on getting into my bed, raising red flags by using every manipulative tactic in his arsenal. I can't deny the attraction I feel for him, but he has lied too many times for me to trust him with my jaded heart. Will my walls hold firm against the tide of his insecurities that threaten to overwhelm me? Or will he find the courage to be honest and give us both the chance for fulfillment we both crave?
