Sparks fly in Louisiana’s Butterfly Bayou when a Hollywood starlet falls for a local deputy in a new small-town contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Lexi Blake.
After leaving the military, Major Blanchard moved to Papillon, Louisiana, to be with his aging father, where he’s taken a deputy position with the sheriffโs department. Now that heโs settling into life on the bayou, heโs trying out the dating scene. Every single woman in town seems to be pining after the handsome newcomer. But so far, nothingโs worked out, and heโs had some spectacularly bad dates. Majorโs getting ready to give up on love when a new lady roars into town to film a movie and turns his world upside down.
Actress Brynn Pearson is trying to make a successful transition from child star to leading lady. Now that sheโs landed her first lead in a major film, nothing can stop her. She’s committed to focusing solely on her work, so romance is the last thing she needsโtoo bad she canโt get her mind off the dreamy deputy whoโs working security for the film. Heโs gorgeous, and something about him makes her feel safe. As Brynnโs feelings for Major deepen, she starts to wonder if maybe thereโs more to life than her career.
When a family crisis throws Majorโs life into a tailspin, he turns to Brynn for support, and hopes the relationship growing between them will shine brighter than Hollywood lights.

โAre you still driving Harryโs truck? I only ask so I can have an idea of how many people are going to call the station about the pretty blond car thief.โ
Brynn winced. โSorry. I didnโt think it would be a big deal. And no. Harry had an emergency. Apparently his mother-in-law had some plumbing problems and he went out to help. I called a car service.โ
โWe have a car service?โ Major asked and then winced. โPlease tell me Greg Bonham isnโt still trying to make Guber happen.โ
She snorted. โYes. I heard all about his plan to create a fleet of golf carts.โ
โThatโs not road legal. You are not calling him to take you back.โ He groaned, though it sounded like a sexy growl. โIโll drive you home, and Iโll have a talk with Greg because putting twinkle lights all over a golf cart does not make it safe. So, whereโs your buddy this evening?โ
โDuke?โ She didnโt have another buddy. She had acquaintances. She had coworkers. She had fans. She didnโt have buddies beyond her dog. She suddenly realized how sad that was.
โYes. I miss his royal disdain.โ
โDisdain?โ
A brow rose over Majorโs eyes. โThat dog does not like me. And he didnโt like Dolly, either, which is a mistake on his part because she is delightful.โ
Brynn chuckled. โThatโs not what you were saying when she was wrapped around your shoulders.โ
โWell, weโve moved on and sheโs delightful again. She never met a stranger, and I think she was hurt by Dukeโs rejection of her love.โ
Oh, this was an infinitely more dangerous man than the one sheโd met before. Was he flirting with her? If he was, it was working, because she was ready to throw out everything sheโd learned about him earlier in the day. โDuke takes his time warming up to people, but once he gets used to you, youโll find him delightful, too. Heโs back at the B and B. When Iโm not able to take him with me, he usually stays with an assistant. In this case, heโs hanging out with Shep. What has you in a good mood? Did you get to ticket a bunch of people?โ
He put a hand on his chest. โI do not enjoy ticketing people, Brynn. Especially not people around here. Theyโre mouthy and very creative in finding an excuse for not using their blinker when they turn. By the way, speaking of ticketing people, you have a lead foot. That is not going to do you well here. The boss is always on the lookout to upgrade the station houseโs appliances, and the money from driving offenses goes straight into his budget. Heโs got two small children at home now. He wants an espresso machine. He kind of needs it to keep functioning.โ
Ah, the joys of small-town life. โThank you for the warning. How about I gift him one and maybe you gently look the other way?โ
That jawline of his straightened, and he turned on his serious stare. โMaโam, are you trying to bribe an officer of the law?โ
That cop voice got to her. She suddenly understood why people role-played. Sheโd always thought it was dumb, but now she could see how Deputy Major doing a slow search of her body could be sexy. In a playful way, of course. A consenting way.
Was she thinking about hopping into bed with him?
