Bidding on the Park Ranger
(2026)(The sixth book in the Rangers of Grizzlyclaw Ridge series)
A Story by Thea Shaw
I spent my entire savings on a date with a mountain of a man.
Beth
I moved to Grizzlyclaw to reclaim myself after my ex, Julian, spent years molding me into something I wasn't. He told me I was too loud, too curvy, and just "too much". When he mocks my bakery and my new life, I snap.
The Chief Ranger of Grizzlyclaw Ridge is on the auction block for charity. Elias Wilson is a wall of a man with eyes like glacier ice and a reputation for being unreachable. To shut Julian up, I shout out a two-thousand-dollar bid. Now, the most intimidating man in the state is claiming my hand and telling everyone we're engaged.
Elias
I treat my heart like a tactical perimeter. After a rescue gone wrong twelve years ago, I swore no one would ever get close enough to hurt me or be hurt by me again. Then I see Beth Proctor.
She looks like a spot of sunshine in this crowded hall, and when her snake of an ex starts bidding, my predator instinct takes over. I don't care about the auction. I care that she is mine.
I'm whisking her away to my isolated cabin to protect her. There's only one bed, a heavy storm rolling in, and a satellite outage that leaves us truly alone. I’m going to spend every second proving to this woman that her curves were made for my hands, and that she is exactly the "too much" I've been waiting for.
Bidding on the Park Ranger is a high-heat, age-gap, mountain man romance. It features a curvy baker, a scarred hero who speaks in imperatives, and a happy ever after that will leave you breathless.
Genre: Romance
