Atonement (2015)
“Clenching her jaw, she slid her gaze toward Doug Walker. He stood with his hands on his hips, his right hand hooked over his off-duty pistol. Right behind him was another cousin of his and Dusty’s. They both looked lit and ready to cause hell.
“Shove off, Walker.”
Her coworker slapped a hand on the bar next to her. Nic expected it, tensed her body in anticipation of it, but she still flinched at the crack of flesh against wood. Every nerve in her body screamed to grab her gun and put him down. ...Protect herself and the innocents.
“I’ve lived in this town all my life.” Walker’s soured breath rolled over her. “My family helped build this place out of nothing.” He leaned closer. “You’re the outsider, Rivers. You shove off.”
He was drunk and slow. And that worked in her favor.
Nic rotated on the barstool to face Walker. Her gaze flicked behind him to his cousin, who was unsteady on his feet. If she got into it with another deputy off-duty, the town council would have Hamilton’s head and force him to sack Nic.MoreLess
