Willowbrook Ridge Rangers

Chasing rumors of a legendary beast prowling these mountains sounded like the perfect thrill. When I finally find it, things don’t go as planned—because instead of a mythical creature, I end up spraying a very human, very furious ranger with bear spray. Whoops. Alex may be intimidating, but he's also as stubborn as I am. Now, the real challenge isn’t finding the beast… It's dealing with a man who might be more than I can handle.

Being the voice behind the radio means I’ve seen it all—rangers coming and going, rescuing hikers, and even falling in love. As much as I’m thrilled for my team, watching them leave to chase their happily-ever-afters only makes me feel lonelier.

I’ve spent my whole life dreaming of a way out of my miserable home, and now I’ve found it: a mail-order bride contract that promises freedom. My plan is simple—marry a stranger, save up money, and chase my dream of becoming a painter. But when I meet Tate, my new husband, nothing about him feels simple. He’s older, rugged, and far too tempting for a young woman like me. I only promised my hand—not my heart. Yet every time he looks at me, I wonder if leaving is the right choice at all.

Aubrey: I thought I could escape my problems by running to the mountains with nothing but a sleeping bag and a dream to escape everything I had left behind. Instead, I end up lost and way over my head. Just when I think things can't get worse, a silent, rugged ranger appears out of nowhere to kick me off the mountain. He doesn’t speak a word, but his brooding gaze says plenty—and now, thanks to him, I’m stuck in his watch tower once I reveal I’ve got nowhere to go. I should feel grateful. Instead, I wonder what it would take to crack his quiet exterior.
