Vigilant Mountain Man
(2026)(The fourth book in the Bitterroot Ridge Bodyguards series)
A novel by Peyton Lawson
Callum Reeves doesn’t lose the trail.
Former Marine scout sniper, born and raised in Bitterroot Ridge, Cal knows the wilderness the way other men know city streets. When someone needs protection beyond paved roads, he’s the one Ridge Defense calls.
But this assignment is personal.
The mountains already took someone he loved—bad intel, one fatal mistake. He won’t let it happen again.
She thinks the wilderness is freedom.
Cal knows it’s full of teeth.
As danger closes in from the trees, Cal must protect her in a world where there’s nowhere to hide—and where keeping her alive might mean admitting how badly he wants her to stay.
Tropes: Wilderness bodyguard, rugged silver fox, forced proximity, survival romance, protector instincts, slow-burn heat
Genre: Romance
