"Mountain Man Marcus is the perfect mix of adrenaline, heart, and heat. Fallon's struggle to reclaim her life after trauma felt raw and real, and when a sudden storm throws her into danger, Marcus is the kind of hero every reader hopes will show up -- steady, protective, and unexpectedly tender. Fallon's strength meets Marcus's quiet vulnerability."-ARC Reviewer

Welcome to Anchor Hills, Maine, where rugged coastal mountain veterans are just waiting for the curvy girl of their dreams.

Fallon
It's not right that one moment can ruin all the ones that come after.
My world was turned upside down and I'm still getting to know this new version of me.
Leaving the house is a step in the right direction, until I'm reminded why it's safer not to.
The storm wasn't supposed to hit Anchor Hills, not while I'm on the open water, turning over a new leaf that's about to get swept away.
Just when I'm convinced all hope is lost, he appears.

Marcus
Rescuing people is just what I do, but it's more than a job, it gives me purpose.
This should be no different than any other storm or any other rescue.
But I wasn't prepared for Fallon to come walking into my life, or more accurately, dangling from the side of a cliff.
She'll be gone at the end of vacation, the perfect reason not to get attached, and normally I don't.
How am I supposed to stop myself from falling for this strong yet fragile, funny, sensitive, beautiful badass?
I'm here to save her from so much more than this storm, but who's going to save me from falling for the woman of my dreams?
