Emergency with the Mountain Man

One emergency call changed everything.

I came to Silver Ridge to rebuild my veterinary practice and heal from a toxic relationship, not to fall for the local forester with warm brown eyes and capable hands. But when Jake calls about an injured bear cub, everything shifts.
One look at this man who protects both wildlife and community, and my carefully guarded heart cracks wide open. He sees my worth when I’ve forgotten it myself. Makes me feel capable again. Makes me want to stay in this mountain town forever.

When we work together to save wildlife and I see his deep respect for the forest he works in, I start questioning everything—my plans to keep things simple, my carefully guarded heart, my belief that I’m better off alone.
