Tammy: Returning to Shady Pines Lodge feels like a fresh start—until I’m met with the head cook’s intense, unreadable stares. I don’t know what I did to get on Daniel’s bad side, but every time I catch him looking at me, I can’t tell if it’s hatred or something else entirely. I should have known my streak of bad luck with this mountain wasn’t over yet—especially now that I’m trapped here by the storm. Daniel: I’m not looking forward to dealing with the health inspector again.

Chasing rumors of a legendary beast prowling these mountains sounded like the perfect thrill. When I finally find it, things don’t go as planned—because instead of a mythical creature, I end up spraying a very human, very furious ranger with bear spray. Whoops. Alex may be intimidating, but he's also as stubborn as I am. Now, the real challenge isn’t finding the beast… It's dealing with a man who might be more than I can handle.

Working in the lodge’s kitchen, my job is to keep the food coming and make the guests happy. Every morning, when the older, rugged ranger comes in for breakfast, I can’t stop my heart from racing. David is completely off-limits—he’s my boss’s brother, and one wrong move could ruin everything. The way his eyes linger on me, like he’s imagining all the things he wants to do…it makes me wonder if taking the risk might be worth it.

Working as the receptionist at Shady Pines has its perks, especially when the handsome handyman shows up. Every time Levi walks through the door, my heart races a little faster. There’s something about his easy smile that draws me in, but I can’t shake the feeling that he’s not just here for repairs. When he asks me out to lunch, I’m thrilled but terrified. Does he really want me, or am I reading too much into this?

I’ve spent my whole life dreaming of a way out of my miserable home, and now I’ve found it: a mail-order bride contract that promises freedom. My plan is simple—marry a stranger, save up money, and chase my dream of becoming a painter. But when I meet Tate, my new husband, nothing about him feels simple. He’s older, rugged, and far too tempting for a young woman like me. I only promised my hand—not my heart. Yet every time he looks at me, I wonder if leaving is the right choice at all.

Aubrey: I thought I could escape my problems by running to the mountains with nothing but a sleeping bag and a dream to escape everything I had left behind. Instead, I end up lost and way over my head. Just when I think things can't get worse, a silent, rugged ranger appears out of nowhere to kick me off the mountain. He doesn’t speak a word, but his brooding gaze says plenty—and now, thanks to him, I’m stuck in his watch tower once I reveal I’ve got nowhere to go. I should feel grateful. Instead, I wonder what it would take to crack his quiet exterior.
