Wild Peak

2025

The only thing worse than twisting your ankle up on a mountaintop? Doing it in front of the crush who teased you for years. This hike was supposed to be about hitting the reset button. Getting out of my comfort zone—and hey, maybe proving I’m not such a hopeless indoor girl after all. Then I slip on a loose rock and go tumbling, scraping up my palms and twisting my ankle. It’s messy. It hurts. And the worst part my brother’s best friend saw the whole thing. I had such a huge crush on this guy growing up. And he teased me for years—before shocking the whole town by moving to a cabin in the woods and becoming a loner. Now this familiar face is a mystery to me. Why did he move to the wilderness? What turned the handsome, laughing guy we all knew into a brooding mountain man? And as he bandages me up in his cabin… can I keep this age-old crush under wraps? Wild Peak is a short and steamy instalove story, starring a banged-up bookworm and the mountain man who can’t take his eyes off her.

Wild River

2025

He fishes me out of the river in a wedding dress. But the grumpy mountain man has no idea how much trouble he’s caught… When I sneak away from the fancy mountain lodge where I was supposed to get married today, I have zero plan. No spare clothes to change into; no one to call for help. Nada. But fleeing across the wilderness is hard to do in a bridal gown. And the river that stands between me and my freedom from marrying some stranger… turns out it’s deeper than it looks. I’m swept away, tossed on rough currents. Soaked and swirled around. An honest-to-god bear swipes at me, but in the end it’s a man who scoops me out of the water. A stern, bearded, gorgeous man. A man who is baffled by everything I say and do. But all I want to do is leap into his strong arms and shriek with relief. Oh, and get out of these wet clothes… Wild River is a short and steamy instalove story, starring a runaway bride and her bemused savior.
