In the quiet town of Alderidge, Officer Caleb Mercer notices everything-especially the anonymous, heartfelt notes appearing around town. Each message is personal, kind, and hauntingly precise. His instincts tell him they're more than a harmless mystery... and his gut keeps leading him to the guarded bakery owner who seems to be hiding behind her flour-dusted apron. Elise Hart doesn't want to be noticed. She's rebuilt her life one pastry at a time, staying behind the scenes, giving kindness without a name. But when Caleb starts asking questions-gentle, persistent, and entirely too observant-her walls begin to crumble. As sweet moments turn into something deeper, both Elise and Caleb must confront the pasts that taught them to guard their hearts. But when vulnerability feels like a risk too big to take, can love still find its way in? A heartfelt story of quiet bravery, emotional healing, and the small gestures that change everything-Patrol Hearts is a clean, slow-burning romance for anyone who believes that love, like kindness, shows up when we least expect it. What if the person who sees you the most clearly is the one you never meant to reveal yourself to?
