Absaroka Ambush: Deadly Miles Book 1

Survival brought them together. Trust will keep them alive.

Gina Connolly doesn’t need anyone. She’s built her life on control with a steady job, careful boundaries, and zero emotional risks. Depending on someone only leads to heartbreak.

Nick Davies is the last complication she wants.

He came to their small Wyoming town with no clear future and no intention of staying. The chemistry between them is instant. Inconvenient. Dangerous.

Then a training run in the Absaroka Mountains turns deadly.

A sudden blizzard traps their close-knit running group inside an abandoned mountain hotel, miles from help. Tensions rise. Secrets unravel. And it becomes clear the storm isn’t the only threat closing in.

Stranded together, Gina and Nick must rely on each other to survive. But survival requires trust, and trust is the one thing Gina refuses to give.

As loyalties fracture and danger escalates, Nick risks everything to protect the woman determined to keep him at arm’s length. If they make it off the mountain alive, Gina will have to decide… is protecting her heart worth losing the only man who refuses to run?

Because the most terrifying risk isn’t the storm or the man threatening to kill them. It’s falling in love.
