Ranger’s Rest - A Park Ranger a Camp Director and the Trail That Loops Back to Love

Sophie Claire Whitmore

Synopsis

When Ranger Cal Bennett transfers to Whispering Pines, he expects quiet trails and solitude not Lily Marsh, the camp director whose energy seems to brighten every corner of the forest. Lily runs Camp Evergreen with determination and heart, but she’s never met a ranger who carries so much silence in his eyes.

Assigned to clear and restore the camp’s overgrown paths, Cal and Lily find themselves working side by side. Long hikes, late talks, and the search for a missing camper begin to stir memories Cal has tried to bury and feelings neither of them planned to face.

As Cal struggles with a past that shadows every step and Lily makes space for someone who asks for little but clearly needs more, their connection deepens. The question remains: can a path meant for closure also open toward something lasting?

Ranger’s Rest is a tender romance shaped by wilderness, memory, and the quiet strength of trust.

Will they risk the first step toward love, or turn back before the trail begins?

***

Like every story in Hearts in Uniform, theirs proves that courage isn’t only found on duty it’s found in opening the heart.

In every town, there are quiet heroes people who rise early, stay late, and give more than they take. Hearts in Uniform is a clean romance series honoring those who serve with strength, compassion, and quiet courage on duty and at home.

From firefighters facing flames to school counselors guiding children, each story highlights everyday champions who make their communities safer and kinder. These are not tales of perfection but of resilience, humor, and the risk it takes to open a guarded heart.

Set in small towns and close-knit neighborhoods, each standalone romance introduces a new hero and heroine brought together in unexpected ways. Saving lives, delivering letters, tending strays, restoring trust love often arrives in the middle of service and sacrifice.

Hearts in Uniform offers slow-burn connection, witty banter, and clean, swoon-worthy endings. One brave love story at a time.

'I was hooked from the start and raced through to the end, rooting for Martha the whole way. Wonderful' Sara Lawrence, Daily Mail
Martha is the youngest of three sisters and, in her mid-thirties, has the dubious honour of being the only one to call off a wedding at the last moment.
Now, feeling as if she’ll be single forever, and trying to keep her low opinion of her sister Iris’s fiancé to herself for risk of looking bitter, Martha needs a change of scene.
When she is given the opportunity of a holiday to Paxos it seems too good to turn down, though the idea of travelling alone is daunting. And when the trip to the Greek island gets complicated, Martha wonders if this has all been a mistake.
But soon the island and its residents start to work their magic on Martha, and when she meets single father Harry and his adorable son Milo, a new way of living is revealed in contrast with the drab routine of her life back home. How can Martha leave behind the warmth of the people, the freedom and the fun, not to mention Harry and Milo when it’s time for her to go home…
