Pop diva Leia Shae ventured forth from small town America and made herself a superstar. After fifteen years of stardom, she’s hollow and lost – so lost that her clash with the law outside Parson Corners, Colorado launches her into a quest for a place to belong.
Sheriff Zach Murphy has a pre-teen rebellious daughter, a meddling family and a wary wounded soul. When Leia crashes into his life, she batters the walls Zach’s built to protect himself. When his former flame and the media descend on his town digging for scandal on the rock star, how will Zach choose? Should he protect his hard-won stability or dare he stand by sexy, loving Leia and risk his heart?
REVIEWS:
“Colt gives us another great cast of small town brothers to begin matching up. Bundle up for Colorado snow and bring your cocoa for Rock Star’s Sheriff, although after Leia and Zach meet, it’s a wonder any snow is left!” Kelly McCrady, Author of The Empire's Edge, TWRP
"The Rock Star’s Sheriff is a well written novel with a realistic storyline and engaging characters. Zach and Leia’s relationship slowly evolves from friendship to love over time. Zach’s daughter, Carlee, is a typical pre-teen who is adorable unless she is being moody, angry and pouty. While Carlee and Zach share some pretty heart melting scenes, they also have the normal father/daughter battles and arguments. The interactions between Zach and his brothers are filled with good natured teasing and affection. Ms. Colt brings the town of Parson Corners vividly to life with an eclectic cast of colorful and caring characters.
The Rock Star’s Sheriff is an absolutely charming story that pulls the reader deep into the heart of the Murphy family. And luckily for us, it is the first installment of Patti Ann Colt’s new series, Parson Corners. I am eagerly anticipating the stories Ms. Colt has planned for Zach’s brothers Beau, Wyatt and Ryder!" - Book Reviews and More by Kathy
EXCERPT:
Leia took a deep breath, studying every nuance of Zach’s face. Then, she deliberately stepped into his space, just a hand’s breadth away from his chest, and glared up at him. “Who are you worried about, Zach? Carlee or yourself?”
His breath caught on a snarl. She had one moment to wonder why she stepped into his web, one moment to see the shift in his eyes from reproachful fury to naked longing, one moment to move away. His lips slammed into hers, punishing in intensity. Her heart jolted, her pulse pounded in her ears. Being no one’s wallflower, she immediately gave back as good as she got.
She slid closer and arched her arms around his neck, pulling him against her, toying with the hair at the nap of his neck. He groaned. His lips gentled, sliding across hers, the warmth caused tingles from head to toe. At that moment, it ceased to be about anger or defending herself to the furious sheriff. She met his tongue, tasting of sweetened coffee, and let the moment take over, committing the rightness of it to heart. She could have stood there for eons with his mouth learning hers, cherishing hers, but Zach abruptly pulled away and deliberately set her a couple of feet away from him.
Anger returned to his eyes.
He spun and walked down the hall to the entryway, his boots pounding loudly on the floor. The front door slammed, the closing punctuation.
She touched her lips, felt a slight swelling and her entire body revolted at the abrupt cessation of the kiss. Another rush of heat flooded her face.
“Well, damn it all to hell,” she muttered to the empty house.
