The Forestry Series, Book 1 Next Book: Their Natural Habitat Dan comes out to his family on his thirtieth birthday. Instead of being embraced, he’s condemned and insulted. Wanting to escape, he buys a camper on a whim and takes a three month sabbatical. He plans to spend the summer in the Nantahala Forest fishing, hiking, and camping despite being far less than adept in the great outdoors. His mishaps catch the attention of a sexy forest ranger who leaves Dan wondering whether Parker’s interested in friendship or something more.

Dan and Parker want a nice weekend away, but bear baiters are camping in the forest where Parker works as a ranger, putting both humans and animals at risk. Dan is worried that Parker will be harmed, angry at their lack of time together, and terrified their developing relationship can’t take the strain. This is the sequel to Silvia's story 'His True Nature'.
