Returning to my childhood mountain retreat was supposed to reignite my creative spark, but I never expected it to kindle something far more incendiary with Nathan Caldwell.
He’s the rugged forest ranger whose sturdy presence has always loomed like the mountains themselves—solid, untouchable, and very much off-limits as my brother’s best friend. Yet here I am, ensnared by the smoldering intensity in his gaze that rivals the wildness of the terrain we tread.
Our worlds clash in a sultry symphony of resistance and unspoken yearning. His cool, controlled exterior contrasts sharply with the tempest of notes and dreams stirring within me, every brush of his skin against mine a tantalizing reminder of forbidden desires. But the mountain has a way of breaking down barriers, and when its fury leaves me stranded and wounded, Nathan is the one who storms to my rescue.
