Rescuing Griffin

When the bad boy claims the good girl, will he corrupt her? Or will she save him from himself?

At the end of the spring semester, I let Griffin Slater take my V-card. It wasn’t my most brilliant move since he’s notorious for being Saint Paschal University’s bad boy, but we’d had a few classes together, and I’d started falling for him. Huge mistake. He’d left me in the dust and I’d spent all summer stewing. 

When I locked eyes with him on the first day of school, my heart reacted against my will. I want to hate him, but I can’t. And that makes me want to hate him more.

I knew better than to screw around with Holly Bates. She’s the country club type and I’m…not, but I’d had a weak moment. I have a lot of those around her. I’d been dreading seeing her again—dreading having to pretend like the night we’d spent together hadn’t meant shit to me. 

Now we’re forced to spend the entire fall semester running a business together for our Entrepreneurship 101 class. I keep doing shit to make her hate me, but the more I’m around her, the more I want her back in my arms, and that’s the last place she belongs. 

*Rescuing Griffin was originally published in the Kiss & Tell Charity Anthology in September 2022.

The Rescued by the Rangers Series follows ex-Army Rangers working in the private sector to rescue those in need, which leads to them falling in love.

When it comes to second chances, there's no such thing as a coincidence.

If you were staring down death, what would be your last thought?

I’m not sure how I went from riding the high of being on the Forbes 30 Under 30 List to getting abducted at gunpoint, but now my hands are bound, my face is bruised, and I’m convinced that even if my captors get their money, they’re going to kill me anyway. 

So, here I am at what very well may be the end of my life, and it’s not my successes that fill my mind. No, in my final moments, the only thing I can think about is the heartbreak I’ve never gotten over. I guess in the end, all we need is true love...and Griffin was mine.

Now it’s too late. 

Griffin

Eleven years ago, I broke up with the only woman I’ve ever loved in order to protect her. I’d joined the military and let that distract me, while she’d gone on to build the kind of life I’d always wanted for her. Or so I’d thought.

After leaving the Army, I was recruited by Sua Sponte Tactical Corporation to do the same things I’d done as a Ranger, but with far more freedom to operate in the gray areas. Little did I know, that decision would lead me back to the love of my life. Although, I wish it wasn’t because I had to rescue her from the cartel’s clutches. 

I’d promised once that I’d kill for her, and it seems I’m going to have to make good on that promise. Maybe this time I’ll get to walk away with the girl, too, otherwise, it might just destroy what’s left of my tattered heart.



Immerse yourself in the Rescued by the Rangers Series where the men go to great lengths to keep their women safe. This is book one in a new series set in Kaye Kennedy's uniformed heroes world! While each of her books can be read as standalones, they're interconnected across all three series, which means you'll recognize characters from her other stories in each one.
