Publisher Description

Set in rural upstate New York along the Delaware River, the Wayward Son Diner is a pit stop for tourists and locals of Sullivan County. Waitress Alex Hanson has seen it all and has no interest in the daily gossip-mongering of the natives.

Knowing full well what it feels like to be the grease on the wheel, Alex takes pity on new park ranger Sam Ruiz, when he's accosted by several eligible females whose need to satisfy their biological clocks outweighs their ingrained trepidation of a government employee. Alex's reluctant intervention starts a chain reaction that forces Ranger Ruiz to her doorstep, pushing the NPS agenda, even though he hates to see Alex so on edge.

Despite the spark of attraction, neither Sam nor Alex is willing to explore a real relationship - until a dangerous warning hits Sam too close to home. Before Alex can blink, she's enmeshed herself in Sam's investigation, and unwittingly becomes a target for the homegrown terrorists gunning for the National Park Service. And for Sam.
