How was I going to keep my no touching oath when everything inside me screamed, she is the one!
KANE
Ive been a Ranger, and a Hollywood stuntman, chasing one adventure after another until an injury ended my career.
Then I came to Pineville Mountain for a buddy’s wedding, and now I’m a mountain man with no real job.
That is until the sister of one of my fellow Rangers has an overeager “fan” sending her borderline stalkerish content and I’m tasked with being her bodyguard.
Between the Army and various skills picked up from movie sets, I’m ready.
What I wasn’t ready for?
Chassie’s sexy curves...

Between the Army and various skills picked up from movie sets, I’m ready.
What I wasn’t ready for?
Chassie’s sexy curves and sassy mouth tempting me within moments of meeting her.
Everything inside me realigned, clicking into place when this gorgeous female with pink hair smiled at me and called me a pain in the a**.
And just like that, I’ve found my other half. Someone who can not only stand up to me but bring me to my knees.
Now, I just have to convince her I’m not the womanizing, alpha-hole her brother’s warned her about.
CHASSIE
I used to be a trauma room nurse, until I burned out. Literally.
Like I’m burning hot. All. The. Time.
And not in a “she’s smoking” hot way.
But in the “I’ve been having hot flashes since I turned thirty-five” hot.
Used to thinking on my feet, I’ve pivoted and now share my health journey online and have become a perimenopause influencer.
But as my audience grew, weird messages from a fan had me back pedaling from all social media.
No longer feeling safe in my own home, I’ve reached out to my former Ranger brother for help.
He picks a full-of-himself member from his old unit—someone guaranteed to annoy me, someone to be my bodyguard and someone I find myself hiding my attraction to—because there’s no way someone like him—movie star handsome—could feel the same toward me.
Incredibly, I feel safe stuck in Kane’s almost-finished mountain cabin.
And it’s not long before we give in to the heat between us; even as we bicker like an old married couple.
Will I be able to overcome years of relationship insecurities and the one secret that may tear us apart when he makes an unbelievable declaration?
