The Accidental Sheriff (2010)
““That’s not it, Ward.” Carolina sat with her hands on the table in front of her, trying not to twist the tennis bracelet on her left wrist. She’d returned the diamond engagement ring Lonnie had given her but kept the bracelet he’d surprised her with their first Christmas together.
Not all her experiences with her ex-fiancé were bad. Just the final ones.
After the other day, when she’d informed Ward she’d rather not do the story on Neil, her boss had blown up, but promptly cooled down.
