Book Summary:
Eden Durant hasn't always been Eden Durant. She's made a fresh start in Shelbyville, Texas, far from her mother's notoriety. Running the Paradise Garden Café is as much excitement as Eden wants—or it was, until she meets Beck Childress. Although he's the one man who could expose her past, she's willing to open up enough to see if he might be her future.
Chief Deputy Childress is determined to get to know the real Eden, when he isn't busy cleaning up after the sheriff and running in the election to replace him. When several men fall sick after eating in Eden's café, he investigates even as her mysterious past raises both his suspicions and his protective instincts.
As their relationship heats up, so do the pressures of Beck's campaign. When Eden's secrets are revealed, jeopardizing his dream of becoming sheriff, he'll need to choose: serve and protect the town he loves or the woman who makes it home.
Problems in Paradise Excerpt
By Kelsey Browning
As soon as Beck stuffed a bite of Slim
Jim into his mouth and cranked his truck, his “Paradise Knife and Gun Club”
ring tone blasted through the speakers. Shit.
Sheriff’s department dispatch on the one night this week he’d decided to
indulge in a beer at Dirty Harry’s. He swallowed and hit the talk button.
“Maylene, I’m off duty tonight.”
“I know, Chief Deputy, but I
thought you’d want the 4-1-1 on a 40-69 reported.”
He didn’t bother to tell her
there was no such thing as a 40-69. They rarely used cop codes on air anymore.
Good thing since she couldn’t seem to get them right. But her heart was in the
right place, and she was otherwise reliable.
Beck closed his eyes for two
seconds, popped the thick rubber band on his right wrist and blew out a breath.
Good thing he’d only had one drink. “Go ahead.”
“A 9-1-1 call came in from 439
Labonte Street, and Sheriff Rollins took it himself.”
Shit wasn’t a strong enough word. Beck tried like hell to keep
Teddy Rollins in the office and out of the field these days. He was bad enough
behind a desk, spending the county’s money irresponsibly and generally getting
in his department’s way, but when he took a call, the whole thing tended to
devolve into clusterfuck territory. “Wait a minute. What was that address?”
“It’s Eden Durant’s café.”
That single beer foamed up in his
belly, and Beck slammed the SUV into drive. In the steady rain, his tires spun
and finally caught traction in the bar’s gravel parking lot. “Details.”
“Possible break-in. Said she
heard noises downstairs and thought someone was inside the building.”
Eden’s café was on the first
floor and she lived in an apartment on the third, while the level in between
was empty. That meant any activity after she closed her restaurant was highly
suspicious. “I’m on it.”
He disconnected and pushed his
personal vehicle past eighty, rocketing down Highway 12 toward Shelbyville’s
small town square. The alleyway behind the row of buildings was his best bet
for a low-key approach in case the intruder was still inside. Teddy had
probably already blown their opportunity at stealth, but miracles did happen.
Beck cut his lights and blocked
the alley even though chances were slim he had a serious criminal on his hands.
Most of the crime in Crockett County was petty theft and other personal
property crimes. Very few violent incidents in the four years he’d been in the
sheriff’s department, but he wasn’t taking any chances. Not with anyone.
But especially not with Eden.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
