Vigilant

Be vigilant, without being paranoid... Marisa There's nothing I want more than to give my all at my job. My goal is be the best detective possible, a confident professional solving the crimes that hit the small town of Palmer I've always called home. I've grown into this role, proud to be part of a team that's more like a second family. It's what fits. Well, maybe that's not all I want.It'd also be nice to find a guy who'd last longer than a first date. Especially with the thought of my baby sister getting engaged and expecting me to bring a plus-one to her big day. Trying to solve a couple of homicides keeps me too busy to think about meeting a man, but my life is truly upended the day I meet the gruff, hard-to-please jerk from the city who thinks we can be partners. Ryan There's something freeing about giving up the hectic life of fighting crime in Chicago. My plan is to relocate to a little town in the middle of nowhere. A place I can soon take over as chief of police. No more women. Just work. My career is all that I've got the time and energy for after a lousy breakup. However, it seems that I'm not going to have an easy transfer in Palmer. Meeting the daughter of the man I'm replacing turns into a test of wills, and I'm not sure how I can ever get along with the sloppiest, most laidback, and unorganized detective I've ever had the misfortune to meet. Arguing about how to handle our investigations keeps my blood pressure soaring, but my idea of resisting women is sorely challenged when I let my fellow detective too close for comfort.
