Tortoise Tango

Mary Wine

Romance / Steampunk / Historical Fiction

Sassy, curvy and red-haired, Amber wasn't a woman Joe would ever forget. Her cute temper made more than his blood pressure spike. In fact, it was possible that they were fated to be together. As long as he didn't strangle the stubborn woman first! Men were created to annoy women. It was a harsh fact that Amber noticed every time she came face to face with Sheriff Joe Lott. Sure, his shoulders were the kind girls drooled over and that dark, husky voice made her knees weak, but that sort of thing was for pushover women without the guts to face the world on their own. The only male she needed was her tortoise, and Joe could just stop running his eyes over her curves. But even Cupid has a sense of humor and his aim is never wrong. Throw in a drug dealer, a voodoo-wielding mother, a tortoise and a team of SEALs and you have a recipe for mayhem…and a determined sheriff who won't take no for an answer. One thing Joe knows for certain-life with his "Little Red" will never be boring! And he wouldn't have it any other way.
