The Bribe (Calamity Montana, #1)

by Willa Nash

I was a woman running through a storm, searching for a haven against the onslaught of rain.

“In public, you’re Jade. But behind closed doors, you’re—” “Lucy?” she breathed. I shook my head. “Mine.”

“Bitch. How do you go into hiding and land a hot cop the first week? You and your lucky breaks.”

“You’ll never be alone,” he promised. “As long as there is a beat in my heart and breath in my lungs, you’ll never be alone.”

“What would you say to a bribe?” She laughed. “The terms?” “Marry me and I’ll give you this ring.” “That’s it?” I fought a smile. “And I’ll love you for the rest of my life.”
