It was just another day in the life of being a small town cop.

I’m a protector at heart, and always have been.

Which is why I stepped up immediately after finding out I had a kid.

Well…to be honest, I didn’t believe it at first.

I actually thought it was a prank when the little girl was brought into the station.

It took a paternity test for me to really feel the gravity of the situation.

Fine, I didn’t handle it well at all.

But when I had proof Emily was really mine, nothing would stand in the way of me protecting her.

I may have gone a little overboard.

At least, that’s what my sexy neighbor thinks.

But what does she know? She let my kid drink out of a garden hose!

Sure, I did it as a kid, but I’m bald now. What if drinking out of a hose at such a young age ruined my chances of having a decent head of hair?

Am I really supposed to allow my child to be put in danger like that?

But the more I hang around with Katka, the harder I find it to ignore the logic in what she’s saying.

Maybe it’s the late night dancing she performs for me.

Or her crazy family that thinks I’m not good enough.

Whatever it is about her, it drives me to the edge.

All I think about is her.

All I want is her.

But she doesn’t want a kid.

Despite the passion building between us, I’m not the man she’s looking for.

I’ll just have to find a way to prove I’m exactly what she needs.
