She studies predators. He's the only one she can't outsmart.

Field biologist Dr. Sacha Jennings didn't plan on needing a rescue -- especially not from Finn Bridger, Bitterroot Ridge's most infuriatingly competent SAR commander. One white-out, one fall, and one impossible man later, she's stuck in a mountain cabin with the only person more stubborn than she is.

Finn lives for the job and nothing else. Until Sasha. Until her sharp tongue and soft heart start cracking the walls he built after too many failed saves. When another call drags him back into the storm, she follows -- and what starts as survival turns into something hotter, riskier, and a hell of a lot harder to walk away from.

Two hearts built for control. One mountain determined to break them.

? Tropes: age gap, protective mountain man, woman in STEM, adrenaline romance, rescue-gone-wrong, scarred hero

Perfect for fans of steamy mountain man romance, intense forced proximity, and heroes who fall hard and fast.

Each book in the Bitterroot Ridge Search & Rescue series can be read as a standalone, but are best enjoyed in order.
