Daring With The Mountain Man

Preorder Now - Releases June 7, 2026

A burned-out vacationer. A protective mountain guide. One summer dare that changes everything.

Layla came to the Colorado mountains for a summer escape. She wanted quiet mornings, cool lake water, and enough distance from her real life to remember how to breathe again. She didn’t expect to meet the rugged local guide who teaches people how to leap before fear keeps them stuck.

Hudson knows every hidden cove, every safe cliff, and every dangerous mistake tourists make around the lake. For him, daring isn’t reckless. It’s measured, intentional, and safe.

But Layla tempts him in ways he never planned for.

Hudson spends his summers at his family’s mountain cabin and the rest of the year chasing warmer water along the Florida coast, living a life split between seasons. Women have always seen him as temporary. Passing through. Too untethered to keep ... until her.

Each dare pulls them closer, from the edge of the cliff to the edge of something neither of them expected. And soon, the biggest leap won’t be into the water.

It will be choosing a love brave enough to live in motion.

Daring With the Mountain Man is a steamy M/F mountain man romance with summer lake heat, a protective adventure guide, cliff-jumping dares, forced proximity vibes, and a guaranteed HEA.
