Two weeks chasing perfect light. A photographer who lost her artistic vision. A team leader who falls first, falls hard, and refuses to look away.
He's supposed to accompany her to the overlook. Not count the hours until the next sunrise shoot.
Gage Hunter built his walls on purpose. Four years ago, he lost his wife after two years of being her caretaker, her advocate, her everything, and discovered he'd forgotten how to be a person without someone to care for. Now he runs search-and-rescue operations and keeps everyone at arm's length.
Natalie Hayes used to take photographs that made people feel something. Then came the review that called her work "technically perfect, emotionally vacant." She hasn't taken a real photograph since.
The Granitehart Ridge bicentennial commission is just another paycheck, until her photographs become the town's best hope for protecting a threatened overlook. Gage volunteers as her escort before he can ask himself why. He carries her gear without being asked. Stands guard while she works. Listens when she starts thinking out loud, then says, keep going, I want to understand how you see.
He's trying not to need someone to care for. She's trying not to want the man who makes her see again.
Neither one is fooling anyone, least of all themselves.
Tropes You'll Love:
Forced proximity
He falls first / He falls hard
Acts of service hero
Grumpy-sunshine
Protective SAR hero
Later-in-life romance (40+)
Curvy heroine
Small town Shenandoah Mountain setting
Open door heat
Guaranteed HEA
This steamy escape delivers devoted heroes who fall first and fall hard, no cliffhangers, and no cheating. Safe, swoony, and deeply satisfying in a delightful small town setting.
Part of the Granitehart Ridge Haven series. Each book is a complete standalone with its own HEA, but the brotherhood and found family connections make them even better together.
What to expect from Tiffany Bloom's stories
My stories bring the steam and the heart, full of feeling, a little sweet, and a little addictive. You'll always get a safe, satisfying love story with a guaranteed HEA every time.
