The Forbidden Alaskan Ranger
(2025)(The second book in the Alaskan Heat & Curves series)
A Story by Thea Shaw
He’s sworn to protect her… from everything but himself.JAKE: I have three rules:
She’s twenty-two, innocent, and my best friend’s ward. She is strictly, absolutely off-limits. But when I find her caught in a trap on a restricted trail, terrified and hurt, my "noble" control snaps. I’m not just rescuing her. I’m taking her back to my ranger station.
We’re alone. The radio is down.
And she’s looking at me with those big hazel eyes, begging me to see her as a woman. I’m forty-two. I’m scarred, cynical, and dangerous. I should be keeping her safe. Instead, I’m about to prove exactly why I’m the worst thing for her.
PIPER:
I’m done being the fragile little girl everyone needs to save. I went up that mountain to prove I was strong. Instead, I ended up in the arms of the one man I’ve wanted for three years.
Jake Davidson. He’s big, gruff, and treats me like a child. But I see the way he looks at me when he thinks I’m not paying attention.
I see the hunger he hides behind that stoic ranger badge.
Now I’m in his bed, wearing his shirt, and I’m done waiting. He thinks he’s too old for me? Too broken? I’m going to show him that he’s wrong. I don’t need a guardian. I need him.
The Forbidden Alaskan Ranger is a high-heat, age-gap romance featuring a possessive ex-military hero and the curvy, sunshine heroine who brings him to his knees. If you love forbidden desire, "only one bed" tension, and a first-time romance that melts the snow, welcome to Grizzlyclaw Ridge.
