I don’t stay anywhere long.
Working as a campground host means I drift from town to town, never putting down roots. Whispering Pines is supposed to be just another stop.
Then I meet Tate Benton.
The town’s park ranger is steady, watchful, and entirely too interested in me. What starts as routine check-ins turns into something deeper, something harder to ignore.
Because Tate doesn’t believe in temporary.
And the longer I stay, the more it feels like he’s not just protecting me from the wilderness…
He’s trying to make me stay.
