Ranger’s Rule

His rules were firm. No flirting. No touching. No crossing the line.

Too bad I made him break every one of them.

LENNON

I signed up for Professor Whitlock’s biology class to finish my degree, not to drool over the brooding, off-limits ex-military ranger behind the desk.

But after my humiliating breakup, I find myself spiraling, and staging a run-in with him.

He tells me to stay away. Then he kisses me like he’ll die without a taste.

Now he’s everywhere—on the trail, in my head, and between my thighs.

And when I test his patience? He punishes me with delicious cruelty that leaves me begging for more.

STORM

I live by rules for a reason—rules that keep people safe.

But Lennon Cross is temptation wrapped in tight jeans and defiant eyes. She’s my student. She’s off-limits.

She’s also reckless enough to try hiking the Pacific Crest Trail alone.

So I follow her into the woods.

And when she gets lost… I decide it’s time she learned what happens when you break my rules.
