The Right Place (A “Write Place Retreat” Romance)
An origin novella, set 20 years in the past.
Instalust inspires a curvy waitress to give her virginity to a take-charge forest ranger, but she insists on casual when he wants forever.
Darby Remington is on a mission. She has one year to turn the isolated Adirondack Great Camp she inherited into a writers’ retreat, or the property will revert to the state, the historic buildings razed, and the land itself will become “forever wild.” She seizes the opportunity to prove that she is capable of more than pouring coffee and serving up attitude at the local diner. But someone else has plans for the estate, and Darby is in their way.
When by-the-book Cameron Winehouse took an oath to protect and preserve, he never imagined his job would include an armful of sass with a backbone of steel.
While Darby fights to fulfill her dreams, Cam surrenders to his attraction, and as threats against her escalate, he vows to keep her safe—with or without her cooperation.
Caught between criminals trying to push her off the land and a seductive alpha male pulling her into a relationship, Darby must rely on her instincts—and learn to trust herself.
