       “Will you be okay on your own with the baby for a minute?” Darcy asked.

      Ridge smiled wryly at her concern. “I haven’t broken the baby yet.”

      She nodded. “Fair enough. I’ll be right back.”

      Ridge waited until Darcy had left, then looked down at the baby in his arms. She slept peacefully, curled up like a little shrimp against his chest.

      Her mouth turned up in an impossibly sweet smile, and he felt the weight of responsibility slam down on his shoulders. Even though he wasn’t related to this child and had no idea where she had come from, she was his now.

      “I don’t know who left you on my doorstep,” he said softly. “But I promise, I will take care of you.”

      It was his calling to take care of the lost—the reason he’d gone into search and rescue in the first place.

      He leaned down and pressed a kiss to the soft hair on the top of the baby’s head. “I’ll keep you safe,” he whispered.

      Ridge Colton climbed behind the wheel of his truck and tried to rub away the gritty, sandpaper feeling from his eyes. He’d been up and at it since before dawn, searching the woods around Granite Gulch with the rest of his team, courtesy of a middle-of-the-night phone call made by a resident.
