“Why?” She didn’t want to sound like a broken record, but she had no idea what the man wanted from her. What did he expect? Almost every time she had seen him had been because of something her brother had done, or something that was done to her family.

None of what he wanted made sense. If she could even figure out what he wanted in the first place. She had to admit, her experience with men was limited. She wasn’t a virgin, but she wasn’t exactly experienced, either. A man like Joel Masterson—he overwhelmed and confused her just by breathing. “Why is it so important to you?”

“Because of this.” He put her back on her feet. Then he reached out with one hand and quietly closed the bedroom door. His other hand slipped behind her, going around her waist. He pulled her up against him. Her hands went across his chest. Once again, she felt the steady thump of his heart against her fingers. Felt the muscles beneath his denim shirt, felt the strength in him as he held her.

Phoebe didn’t like feeling this vulnerable.

Too many times in her life she had felt exactly like that. First as a small child who could barely hear. Then as a woman faced with the prospect of raising five siblings after the death of her mother. And as a Tyler. She’d been looked down on by some, including the former sheriff, her entire life simply because of her last name. Just another reason she preferred her goats to town.

Add in the fact that most adults were larger than she was, and it was a powder keg of vulnerability. One that she had yet to escape.

Now here was this powerful, strong, determined man looming over her, wanting something from her that she didn’t quite understand. It was hard for her to figure out.

And then, it was hard for her to even think.

The sheriff leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. For real this time. Not just a quick little brush like before.
