She was never supposed to be alone with me. Not like this. Not overnight. And once the car died and the woods closed in, I stopped pretending I wanted distance.
GRAYSON
I hired Mia Morrin to take care of my daughter. That was the rule. That was the line.
She moved into the cabin with too much warmth, too much patience, too much quiet competence. I noticed every small thing and told myself it was nothing. A man notices the woman living in his space. That’s all.
I was wrong.
I'm touch starved in ways I don't admit. I've spent years keeping my hands busy and my wants buried. Watching her move through my home has been a test I keep failing silently.
Then my truck breaks down miles from the cabin. No signal. No backup. My daughter safe with her mother. Just Mia and me and a long night ahead.
I take control because it’s what I do.
But alone with her, I stop fighting the truth.
I take what I have been denying myself.
MIA
I took the nanny job because it was steady.
A remote cabin. One little girl. A boss who barely spoke and never looked at me for too long.
Grayson Frost is closed off in a way I've never seen before. I thought his distance meant disinterest.
I was wrong.
When his truck dies deep in the woods and we're forced to spend the night alone, everything shifts.
He keeps me close. Makes decisions without asking. Touches me like he has been denying himself for far too long.
This was a job. Somewhere along the way, it became a claim.
Tropes:
Single Dad / Nanny
Touch-Starved Hero
Forced Proximity
Possessive, Wounded MMC
Bound by the Ranger is a short romance in the Paramedic Rangers series, a collection of interconnected standalones about rugged first responders who protect their town and break every personal rule along the way. These rangers are trained to brave the wild, save lives, and keep their heads under pressure… until desire gets involved. Each story follows a different intense, protective hero and the woman he can’t resist. Read in two hours or less, in any order, no cliffhangers, and always a guaranteed HEA… even if things get a little dangerous first. 😈
Genre: Romance
