When wildlife photographer Harper Wells gets caught in a mountain storm, she never expects to find shelter—or salvation—with the brooding forest ranger who reluctantly takes her in.

Caleb Donovan has spent three years in self-imposed isolation on Angel's Peak, haunted by the wildfire that claimed his fiancée and ended his firefighting career. The last thing he needs is a stubborn, city-bred photographer tracking mud through his perfectly ordered sanctuary.

But as days turn into nights and the storm rages on, the walls between them crumble. Harper sees past his gruff exterior to the wounded protector beneath, while Caleb discovers a woman asuntamed as the wilderness he guards. When forced proximity ignites into explosive passion, neither can deny the primal hunger consuming them.

Just as Harper begins to imagine a life beyond constant motion, a career-defining opportunity threatens to tear them apart.

Can love born in isolation survive the real world? Or will their fierce connection be just another casualty of the storm?
