The Ranger and the Runaway Tech Billionaire
(2025)(The sixth book in the Snowberry Falls: Runaway Hearts series)
A novel by Melody Raine
He came to the mountains to disappear. She's about to make that impossible.
Carter Wexley thought he'd found the perfect hideout—a remote cabin where a disgraced tech billionaire could lick his wounds in peace. But when he stops by the ranger station to avoid suspicion by playing the friendly neighbor, everything goes sideways. The park's brand-new AI security system—ironically, tech he helped develop years ago—malfunctions spectacularly, trapping him inside with Ranger Delaney Brooks.
No power. No communications. One sleeping bag. And a system that thinks they're dangerous intruders.
Delaney's dealt with plenty of emergencies, but being locked in her own station with a mysterious stranger who seems to know way too much about the malfunctioning tech? That's a new one. Especially when he keeps muttering about "typical beta version bugs" and she catches him actually trying to reprogram their electronic prison.
As the hours stretch on and the temperature drops, Carter realizes his cover story is unraveling as fast as his resolve to keep his distance. Because watching Delaney stay calm under pressure, crack jokes in a crisis, and trust him despite his obvious secrets is making him want to tell her everything.
He came here to escape his old life. But maybe being trapped with the right person is exactly what he needed.
Genre: Romance
