Saved by the Mountain Man
(2026)(The first book in the Bitterroot Ridge Search and Rescue series)
A novel by Peyton Lawson
She's half-frozen. He's all fire.
Wildlife photographer Lila Bennett is lost in a Bitterroot Ridge snowstorm with a dead satellite phone and fading light. When search team leader Rafe Kincaid finds her, she's stubborn, shivering, and refuses to admit she needs saving. Until hypothermia leaves him one option—strip them both and share his sleeping bag.
One night. One sleeping bag. Zero chance of keeping his hands to himself.
Rafe is all hard edges and iron control, but something about Lila's quiet determination cracks his professional facade. When he discovers her photo appeared in a search bulletin before she even went missing, his protective instincts shift into overdrive. Someone wants her found—but not by him.
As the storm intensifies and secrets surface, Rafe realizes Lila isn't just another rescue—she's the one woman who makes him want to break protocol. And his heart's the one thing he can't afford to risk.
What happens when the woman he's supposed to save becomes the woman he can't live without?
