If you prefer lots of banter, high steam, or deeply complex crime plots, this might not fully satisfy. The overarching series mystery can cause confusion if you haven’t read previous books, and a few found certain side characters or subplot choices off-putting or problematic.

"Vivid and charming."-CHARLAINE HARRIS, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse series
George is a mystery. Tall. Dark. Intense.
And she'll need him by her side if she wants to survive.
George Holloway has spent his life alone, exploring the treacherous beauty of the Colorado Rockies. He's the best survival expert Search & Rescue has, which makes him the obvious choice to lead Ellie Price through deadly terrain to find her missing father. There's just one problem-Ellie's everything George isn't. She's a city girl, charming, gregarious, delicate, small. And when she looks up at him with those big, dark eyes, he swears he would tear the world apart to keep her safe.
Ellie's determined to find her father no matter the cost. But as she and her gorgeous mountain of a guide fight their way through an unforgiving wilderness, they find themselves in the crosshairs of a dangerous man in search of revenge. And they are now his prey...
In the remote Rocky Mountains, lives depend on the Search & Rescue brotherhood. But in a place this far off the map, trust is hard to come by and secrets can be murder...
