A storm-bound prequel to The Jackpine Files series, where undercover heroines, guarded heroes, wilderness danger, and slow-burn sweet romance collide.
I took an undercover assignment as a journalist to expose a billionaire CEO. Then I got trapped at Jackpine with a storm rolling in... and started analyzing why kissing him feels more dangerous than uncovering corporate corruption.
I’m posing as a PR consultant to dig for proof that Ryan North is burying donor scandals.
He’s rich, guarded, capable, and not supposed to be the man who keeps me safe.
But the folder I plant as a test gets moved.
A threatening note appears under my door.
My source starts sending messages that don’t add up.
The closer I get to the truth, the more I suspect Ryan isn’t the villain I came here to expose.
Then the ferry stops running, the storm cuts off escape, and someone inside the lodge knows exactly why I’m here.
Ryan finds me at the dock. He questions me. He opens up in ways I never expected.
Do I trust the man I came to investigate... or lose the story, the truth, and my heart in the process?
Welcome to Jackpine, where the trails are wild, the secrets run deep, and falling in love might be the most dangerous move of all.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
