Enemies in Paradise

Bear Thomsen and I both want the same thing--his grandpa's old auto shop. My dream is to rehab it into a bookstore. Bear's is to tear it down to build a hockey rink. Paradise is the fresh start I'm looking for after taking leave from the police force in LA. I want to escape the big city with its big problems, and avoid a big, unwinnable fight with my commanding officer. But, if I turn in my detective badge I worked so hard to earn, it will be the toughest thing I've ever done. Especially because I hate walking away from a fight. I'm not about to let another man get in the way of my new dream--to own a small-town bookstore. Especially if that man is Bear Thomsen. But when Bear rescues me not once, not twice, but three times, I realize my attraction to him is more than physical. He's a gentle giant with a fierce protective streak, especially when it comes to his hockey team. I never thought I needed saving, but the more time I spend with Bear, the more I discover that bridges can be rebuilt, walls can come down, and dreams are better shared. But how can we share a dream when one of us has to lose for the other to win?
