He keeps writing her tickets. She keeps drawing him as a traffic cone. He keeps every drawing.

Tattoo artist Tansy Okafor knows exactly how to get under Sheriff Eamon Pryce’s immaculate uniform. Their Saturday arguments have become a ritual, and neither has missed a week in two years.

Then someone destroys her shop.

The damage is a warning. Tansy’s loyalty to a friend has made her a target, and the case threatens to put her credibility on trial simply because she is a beta.

Eamon has spent his career trusting the rules. Protecting Tansy means facing what those rules do to the woman he wants—and admitting that his interest in her has never been about a generator permit.

An alpha and a beta cannot have the bond their county recognizes. If they want a future together, they will have to fight for one it has never allowed.

A slow-burn MF omegaverse romance featuring a female beta, a protective alpha sheriff, combative banter, explicit adult intimacy, and a complete HEA. This is a one-couple romance. Book 2 of Vesper Harbor; read after Knot Your Beta for the continuing town storyline.
