Loose Lips & Relationships

Flaming, Missouri is the perfect place for police officer Marc Warren to heal his battered heart after a broken marriage. The tourist town is an easy beat, and he finds sanctuary in his beautiful cabin on the Lake of the Ozarks. So when Grant "Good Time" Taylor shows interest, Marc is in no hurry to let Flaming's resident bad boy rock his boat. Grant has no interest in dating locals. Tourists are plentiful and don't want more than he's willing to give. But a bar bet turns personal when Marc hands him a humiliating public rejection. If Grant wants to get under the mysterious officer's skin, he'll have to offer more than a temporary port. The small town rumor mill gets a jumpstart as Marc and Grant realize what they've been missing all along—each other. But not everyone is happy for them. Someone will stop at nothing to sink the budding relationship. Can Marc and Grant overcome their fears to fight for each other, or is their happiness destined to drown?
