      “Belle Barnes—correction, Slade—you’re under arrest.”

      Harlan removed the cuffs from his belt. “You have the right to remain—”

      “You’ve got to be kidding me!” The cold steel encircled her wrists. “And it’s still Barnes. I didn’t take your last name.”

      “—silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand these rights I have just read to you?”

      “Is it even legal for you to arrest your own wife?” Belle tried to squeeze her hands out of the cuffs.

      “I can and I just did.” Harlan led her to his police cruiser and opened the door. “Watch your head.”

      He slammed the door. So much for today’s happiness. Surely he’d release her as soon as he got back. Harlan wouldn’t take her to jail.

      Would he?

       Chapter One

      “Harlan Slade, you owe me a wedding!”

      Belle Barnes stormed past the police department’s front counter, pushed through the attached swinging door and marched over to the deputy sheriff’s desk. Gasps aside, no one attempted to stop her. She’d seen the inside of the station more times than she could count. And Lord knew her history with Harlan was as well-known as it was long.

      “Belle!” Harlan jumped from his chair, almost knocking it over. The incredulous stare of his piercing blue eyes almost made her turn tail and run. He gave the room a quick scan before returning his attention to her. “What are you talking about?”

      “I need you to marry me...well, at least pretend to.” There was no sense in sugarcoating why she was there.
