. Jasper may be Gracie Island's new Chief, but to Poppie, he'll always be her tall sexy Deputy. Jasper's new duties keep him busy, as he trains a new deputy and deals with the usual small-town mischief. When Poppie surprises him with her return to the island, he's excited to share the Fourth of July celebration with her. The locals come out in force with crafts, homemade goods, food booths, and a beer tent featuring locally made hard cider. After the two rival ball teams play, it's time for fireworks on the beach. When Jasper decides to ask Poppie to marry him, his traditional surprise proposal gets derailed multiple times. Will hard cider, a firework accident, wayward snakes, and a moment of panic prevent Jasper from asking Poppie the question she already knows is coming? Follow Jasper and Poppie on the rocky road to happily ever after in the third book of the Gracie Island Series-The Deputy, The Best Woman, and The Chief.
