Ward’s Independence Day by Flora Ferrari

When a rock hard alpha male firefighter pulls a five-year-old girl from an overturned car on the I-5 on a Southern California morning he has no idea the kind of pull she’s about to have on him.

Now an orphan, and a ward of the state, he can’t bear to see her sent to a foster home. And he feels personally connected. With his fireman connections he calls on city hall and becomes her guardian.

But this older man knows nothing about raising a young daughter, but there’s a first time for everything and he’s up to the challenge of being her protector and single dad.

But this Independence Day will be her independence day in more ways than one. It’s her eighteenth birthday and she has a choice to make now that she will no longer be a ward.

She can go her own way or acknowledge that her guardian and protector has become more than just that…so much more.

They’ve both experienced many first times together, but there’s one first time this virgin ward is saving especially for her gorgeous guardian.

These last few months she sees her handsome firefighter less as her guardian and more like the man of her dreams.

She’s hoping sparks will fly this 4th of July and lead to a California romance that celebrates Independence Day in more ways than one…
