Out Of Bounds With The Grumpy Game Warden

I’ve spent all winter breaking harmless rules just to make the mountain’s sternest game warden come looking for me.

Eli Hutchins is sixteen years older, broad-shouldered, infuriatingly controlled, and completely immune to my flirting. Six tickets later, he still refuses to call me by my first name.

So I challenge the latest citation and drive up his mountain at closing time, determined to crack that rugged composure.

Then a storm destroys the only road home.

Now I’m stranded overnight in a remote ranger station with the one man I can’t stop provoking. Eli has spent months pretending he doesn’t want me—but when I push him one step too far, his patience finally runs out.

And I discover exactly how a dominant mountain man handles a brat who’s been begging for his attention.

Over his knee.

I came to win an argument. By morning, I’m ready to surrender to something far more dangerous.
