The Deputy (Gracie Island Book 1) (affiliate link)
Eighteen months after the loss of his wife, Deputy Jasper Goodspeed wasn’t ready to move on. He’d learned to get up every morning, do his job, and smile when necessary. But enjoying himself wasn’t on his list of things to do.
On the evening of his first murder investigation, he was halfway through a night of drinking himself into oblivion. Forgetting was a good thing, if only for one night a month.
Living on an isolated island with a population of three hundred, crime was almost non-existent. Drunk and disorderly and rambunctious kids were the norm. Murder, especially one witnessed by the deputy’s best friend and his visiting sister, Poppie, was a once in a lifetime occurrence.
As rare as it was, Deputy Goodspeed didn’t need a partner. Certainly not one as stubborn and willful as Poppie. Her ability to make him genuinely smile was intriguing and utterly frustrating.
