Love Over Easy by Lizabeth Scott

A runaway ends up in the only small-town capable of healing her scars. Enter one alpha hero sheriff determined to love and protect her at all cost.

Shyanne Lambert comes to town with a backpack and more secrets than she can carry. Her plans of laying low to give her body time to heal take an unexpected detour in the form of the local law enforcement.
David Caldwell sees something in her wounded eyes that makes him go against his better judgement. To gain her trust he doesn’t push for the secrets she holds closely guarded and gives her the time she asks for. But he struggles to remember the reasons why he should resist the explosive chemistry growing between them.
As Shyanne fits in perfectly with the quirky town she cherishes each new day, but it’s becoming impossible to ignore her raging attraction to the confirmed bachelor sheriff. Just as David is ready to lower his walls and let love guide the way, her past slams into their future. He should have followed his instincts and protected not only Shy, but also his heart.
Will David accept Shy for who and what she? Will they find a way past the betrayal to build trust towards their forever?
Shy’s gone against the odds most of her life. His love is one more thing she must fight for.
