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.”
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?
