Living together wasn’t in the plan… falling for each other was even less so.
​
Jasmine
Haven Bay is my safe place—a quiet coastal town where I can raise my kids, protect the sea lions, and keep my heart off-limits.
Then Ethan Shaw arrives. The new ranger—a gorgeous American marine biologist who’s suddenly my co-worker and my housemate, thanks to a housing disaster. His smile should come with a warning label.
I tell myself it’s only temporary, that I can keep my guard up. But every day, he’s earning my children’s trust. Every night, he’s closer to earning mine. And that scares me more than anything. I can’t afford to let history repeat itself.
Ethan
Six months in Australia. That’s all I need—time to finish my PhD research, head home and launch my career.
What I didn’t plan for was Jasmine—the head ranger who knows every wave, every sea lion, and every way to knock me off balance. She looks at me like I’m a problem she doesn’t want to solve, but the residents of Haven Bay have other ideas.
We’re living under the same roof, working side by side, and the more I see of her—her fierce loyalty, her quiet humour, the way she loves her kids—the less I want to leave.
But staying might mean facing the family history I’ve spent my life outrunning… and trusting someone enough to see the parts of me I’ve always kept hidden.
When my six months are up, I’ll have to choose—my career…or the woman and family I didn’t know I wanted.
