This Hero for Hire by Cynthia Thomason

He's more than her protector…
Being a cop in a small Georgia town is a pretty peaceful job, and one that Boone Braddock takes pride in. Babysitting the governor's daughter, however, isn't Boone's idea of police duty. Especially when it's Susannah Rhodes, who has an impulsive streak a mile wide.
Boone was Susannah's crush in high school. He's still unmistakably handsome. Worse yet, it's impossible to keep anything from him—like the real reason she's returned home. And it's more impossible still to keep her distance. Because a long time ago, the two had shared something special. Something that was never finished…

Sweet and heartwarming story of a small town cop and the governor's daughter, and how high school crush can turn into something much more decades later.
The setting of small Georgia town is enchanting, with the southern hospitality, slow pace of the life, and southern drawl.
The relationship, as well as the story, seems to be as slow going as the life down south at times, but somehow it wraps you up in the warmth of it, and keeps the interest high.
Boone and Susannah has strong chemistry, more things in common they expected to have, and take their time to get to know each other, while Boone is guarding her during the campaign. The story of their relationship is 'clean' , joyous, and loving.
There's a excitement, a bit mystery mixed in the story, with lots of details of organic farming, healthy living, family relations, and small town people everyday life.
Charming story ~ three big spoons and one teaspoon for the correct measure!
