Operation: Sweetheart Rescue: A Short and Sweet Western Valentine's Day RomCom (Sagebrush Ridge #3)
Juniper Adler
Firefighter Wyatt Mercer came home to Sagebrush Ridge planning to rest, regroup, and keep his heart safely out of harm’s way. He did not plan on being publicly volunteered by the town’s notorious Matchmaking Society… or on falling straight back into the orbit of Marlowe Quinn.
Marlowe is busy rebuilding her life—running her boutique, raising her daughter, and proving she doesn’t need rescuing. But when an injury forces Wyatt into her daily world, forced proximity turns into quiet moments, shared laughter, and a spark neither of them is ready to name. Add a meddling trio armed with clipboards, a town that notices everything, and a five-year-old who decides Wyatt is clearly a superhero, and keeping emotional distance becomes impossible.
As Valentine’s Day approaches, misunderstandings pile up, old fears resurface, and both Marlowe and Wyatt must decide: is protecting their hearts worth risking what could be the safest love they’ve ever known?
Operation: Stubborn Love is a sweet, clean small-town romantic comedy packed with found family, single-mom strength, firefighter heroics, second chances, and laugh-out-loud matchmaking chaos.
If you love forced proximity, community meddling, and romance that feels like coming home—step into Sagebrush Ridge and see what happens when love needs bravery too.
