She’s not planning to stay. He’s determined to change her mind.
Neely 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.
