Protected On Solitary Ridge: A Protective Mountain Cop Romance (Solitary Ridge Protectors #3)

copy link copy title and author

She’s running from a man with a badge.
He’s the deputy who refuses to let her be hunted.

Grace Miller has spent weeks on the run - sleeping in her car, keeping her five-year-old daughter safe, never staying long enough to be found. Her ex-husband is a cop. He’s controlling, dangerous, and convinced his badge makes him untouchable.

When Deputy Trent Beck finds Grace and her daughter, Lacy, asleep at a remote Montana trailhead, he knows what protocol demands. Run her information. Call it in. Walk away.

Instead, he sees the fear Grace is trying to hide - and the little girl who flinches at the sight of his uniform. So Beck makes a choice that will change all their lives.

He offers them shelter.

Grace knows better than to trust a man in uniform or to hope for safety or love. But Beck is patient. Steady. A man whose quiet strength makes her feel protected instead of powerless.

When her ex finally catches up to them, threatening to take everything Grace has fought to protect, Beck doesn’t hide behind rules or rank.

He stands his ground.

Because Beck isn’t just a deputy. He’s a former soldier. A protector. And a man who’s found something worth fighting for.

In Solitary Ridge, broken people find refuge. And sometimes, they find a love strong enough to keep them safe.

Book 3 in the Solitary Ridge Protectors series, this spicy and sweet novella can be read as a standalone, but is part of a series. Dual POV. HEA guaranteed.

Content note: This story includes references to past emotional and physical abuse by a former spouse and a brief on-page confrontation with the book's hero.
