Her Reluctant Protector
(2026)(The tenth book in the Piper Falls Paramedics series)
A novel by Maya Black
She came to write a book. She didn’t plan on him.
Wren Calloway arrives in Piper Falls, Texas with a six-month research plan, three notebooks, and no intention of putting down roots. Her third novel needs a small town with heart. Piper Falls has that in abundance.
What it also has is Cade Mercer — the paramedic she spent one unforgettable evening with five years ago in Houston and has been quietly failing to forget ever since.
Cade is good at his job, guarded about everything else, and absolutely not interested in being the reason a woman who is famous for leaving decides to stay. Wren is warm, sharp, and writing a novel about a man who is unmistakably him. Neither of them is prepared for how quickly a second chance can feel like the first time done right.
Piper Falls has a way of keeping the people it needs.
Genre: Romance
