TODAY’S SNIPPET:
Later that day, Lexie took her cup of tea and sat on the front porch, enjoying the sunset with its red and orange reflection towering across the ocean. It’d been an exhausting day. What had started as a simple walk through the forest had turned into an adventure in many ways. With some contentment, she recalled how much fun her daughter had had at the animal shelter. Lexie had followed the park ranger all the way back into Alinta Bay, and once they’d arrived at the shelter, he’d involved Zoe in each little step to get the joey settled. She chuckled at how much her ten-year-old girl had fussed. Zoe’s eyes had lit up when she saw a couple of kittens, and Lexie was proud of her for how she’d handled them, as well as all the other animals she’d been introduced to.
And then there’d been the park ranger. Jesse. He’d been a wealth of knowledge and he’d also been very patient with Zoe, explaining, and showing her so many things. Lexie liked him and despite her best intentions of staying away from men, she was looking forward to seeing him again the next day when dropping Zoe off to help with the feeding.
She shook her head, reminding herself of the reason she’d landed in Alinta Bay in the first place, which was her broken marriage. Her daughter and her job needed all her attention, not one very attractive park ranger.
Jesse.
BLURB:
She loves the feel of his skin beneath her hands …
Lexie Marshall packs up and moves 3,000 km east with her daughter Zoe, to forget and move on. Now, all that matters is her daughter and her new job. She tries hard to stay focussed, but the sexy and extremely kind park ranger, Jesse, is not making it easy. And when her husband shows up in the small coastal town creating chaos, all she can do is hang on and trust her new friends.
After his last girlfriend walked out on him, Jesse Parker is doing just fine on his own. Until his accidental meeting with single mother Lexie, when he rescues her and her daughter from getting lost in the forest. But when her past catches up with her, he is right in the middle of it all and it might ruin his career.
Will returning to her old life be the only chance to save his career?

TODAY’S SNIPPET:
Looking past the girl, he noted Lexie waiting at the car but was unable to interpret the expression on her face. Frustration about a hike gone wrong? Or pride for her daughter for caring so much? He sighed inwardly. It could be as simple as she was annoyed that instead of going home to enjoy the rest of the day, she was about to follow him to the shelter.
“No worries,” he finally replied. “I’ll make sure I won’t lose you.”
“Thank you so much,” Zoe answered.
“You’re very welcome.” He looked up at Lexie. A small smile spread across her face as she watched her daughter hop back to the car. He assumed she was relieved the day that had gone so bad turned into something good. When she met his gaze, his whole body went on alert and somewhere inside he appreciated the opportunity to spend more time with her.

TODAY’S SNIPPET:
Uncomfortable with the situation in front of him, Jesse got out of the car, and opened the door for Lexie before walking around to do the same for Zoe. Despite being a little amused by the conversation that was going on inside the car, he didn’t envy Lexie for her battle with her daughter.
Carefully, he lifted the joey off the girl’s lap and said, “Ladies, you will need to continue this discussion in your car, because I have to take the fella to the shelter. As in quickly.”
His mouth edged up when both females released a big huff as they exited the car.
“Thanks again,” Lexie said quickly as she tried to rush after her daughter who was stomping across the car park. There was nothing he could do. Unsure of how long the joey had been without food, he needed to make him his priority. He re-wrapped the small animal into the blanket again and placed him on the passenger seat then he returned to the driver’s side. He was about to shut the car door when he heard Zoe.
“Mr. Park Ranger,” she shouted from across the car park.
He got out again and strode towards her. “Mum says I need to apologise for being a pain in the butt first,” she said. “But we would like to follow you to the shelter if that’s okay.”

TODAY’S SNIPPET:
He drove along the gravel road, watching Zoe fussing over the small animal out of the corner of his eye. Looking into the rearview mirror and seeing the mother not taking her eyes off the small joey either, he got the impression she was smitten by the animal as well. He set the blinker to turn onto the main road and ten minutes later, he parked in a small car park. “The little white one yours?”
“Yes, thank you.” The relief in Lexie’s voice was evident.
Jesse switched off the engine and opened the car door when Zoe said, “What happens to the joey?”
“I’ll take him to the animal shelter in Alinta Bay.”
“Will I be able to visit him?”
He nodded, looked at Lexie and then back to Zoe. “Of course you can. I’ll give your mum the address and you can come in as often as you’d like to.”
“But who’s looking after him here in the car while you drive to the shelter,” she asked in a way only a young child can come up with. Innocence and worry mirrored in her eyes.
His mouth curved. “He’ll be fine on the seat, wrapped up in the blankets.”
The girl turned to look at her mother, “Mum. I can’t just leave him alone on the seat.”
“Sweetie, he’s in good hands with—”
“Jesse,” he helped.
“After all, Jesse is a Park Ranger and he knows how to handle this kind of situation.”
“But mu-um.”
Lexie blew out a shaky breath, and Jesse wished he could do something to help.
“Zoe, we should go. The joey needs to be cared for and the quicker we let the ranger take it to the shelter, the better its chances are of survival.”
“Can we follow him?”
