Restore at the Resort
(2026)(The third book in the In the Wild: Digital Detox Resort series)
A Story by Heather Hallman
Lauren will do anything Ty asks of her. Until he asks for the impossible.
Lauren: My psychiatrist, also the man I’m hopelessly in love with, advises me to spend a week at the digital detox resort.
He thinks I'm ready to work past the trauma of my divorce and fully understand my needs, desires, and goals.
What better place than a resort where I won't be distracted by phones, computers, and TVs?
I make friends at the resort and learn about the cabins in the woods where guests get to experience the resort’s more exotic offerings. And according to the resort’s owner, there’s a man who’s interested in meeting me there.
Is he the one whose gaze I feel when I’m at the Wine in the Wild happy hour?
If so, maybe it’s worth trying out the resort cabins. After all, Ty wants me to experience everything the resort has to offer. And I’ll do anything to please him.
Ty: After two years of guiding Lauren through her post-divorce trauma, I’m in love.
But there'''s no way I can confess my feelings. A mistake early in my career put me forever under the scrutiny of malpractice insurers and ethics boards. They’d take away my license to practice psychiatry if they found out I was pursuing another patient.
The only way I’ll ever know what it’s like to be with Lauren is to watch her with someone else.
That’s why I tell Lauren to go to the resort. It’s why I follow her to the resort and use my friendship with one of the owners to watch her from a distance.
Then she decides to go to a cabin to experience herself in a new way.
Problem is, there’s no way I’m letting her do that. She has to be with me, but she can’t know it’s me.
Thankfully, there are blindfolds.

Whatever their reasons for coming, everyone at the resort experiences newfound love and unexpected pleasure.
