An expert mountaineer gets a lesson in love from his beautiful protégé in this Rocky Mountain romance by the author of Need You Now.

After his sister's death, Sam Goodall buried himself in his work as a backpacking guide in Gracely, Colorado. His clients don't mind his strong, silent demeanor, and he's happy to spend his down time at his off-grid cabin. But he owes his life to the Evans brothers who employ him at Mile High Adventures. And when they ask for a favor, he can't refuse.

Hayley Winthrop is looking for something she's never had—a true sense of belonging. Finding her half-brothers was the first step. Discovering her purpose is the next. With hunky Sam agreeing to train her as an outdoors guide, she's torn between exploring the great outdoors and their undeniable attraction. But while Sam is stuck in the past, Hayley is looking toward her future. Is the connection between them strong enough to bridge the gap?
