Redeemed at the Resort
(2026)(The sixth book in the In the Wild: Digital Detox Resort series)
A Story by Heather Hallman
If all goes as planned, my blind date at the digital detox resort will spell the end of my virginity.
Damaris: My matcher at Unparalleled Matches found someone who ticks all my boxes. And she''s arranged for us to spend a long weekend at the digital detox resort, getting to know each other. Seeing where things lead.But my blind date is a no-show. Strangely, my longtime crush is here.
That would be Ward, the lacrosse coach at Anacostia Country Day, where I teach World History.
We’ve never exchanged more than a few words because I can’t look him in the eye without blushing and stumbling over my words. He’s insanely attractive.
Way out of my league.
Embarrassed and disappointed by the way the weekend’s turning out, I stay at the resort anyway. After all, I paid decent money to be separated from my devices.
Ward and I end up spending time together and connecting. And my crushing on him gets even more intense.
When we end up at a secret cabin in the woods after too much wine and too much flirting, nothing will ever be the same.
Ward: Lacrosse season is over and I’m spent. I need a break from the team, the parents, and Anacostia Country Day.
A long weekend at a digital detox resort with old friends is exactly what the doctor ordered.
Then my friends are delayed by a day.
At the resort’s happy hour, I run into the whip-smart history teacher with the sweet smile.
Now we’re getting to know each other, and a hike through the woods has us taking our relationship to a new level.
This weekend feels too good to be true.
Turns out, it is.
Damaris and I ended up here for reasons that have nothing to do with blind dates and recovering from my worst season at Anacostia.
This weekend held so much promise for the beginning of something special. Now it feels like the end.
This is the sixth book from In the Wild, a steamy, romantic intrigue series set at a digital detox resort.
Everyone comes to the resort for a reason. Some need to break their addiction to screens. Some need a dopamine reset. Some simply love the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and the amazing farm-to-table cuisine the resort has to offer.
And some come to explore the unique cabins in the woods where fantasies culminate, revenge plays out, and long-held desires are unleashed.
Whatever their reasons for coming, everyone at the resort experiences newfound love and unexpected pleasure.
The main characters in the series are over thirty-five years old. Each book can be read as a standalone.
