Broken Mountain Medic
(2026)(The second book in the Silver Foxes of Raptor Creek series)
A Story by Lainey Rivers
He fled to the mountain to escape his past. He never expected it to follow him.
Five years ago, a catastrophic disaster took everything from Cormac Reed—his career as a flight nurse, his crew, and the woman he was supposed to marry. Now, he hides behind easy charm, hot sauce, and a cabin on the ridge, pretending he’s perfectly fine. He chops wood. He keeps to himself. And he sure as hell tries not to think about the curvy, dark-haired beauty who just opened a coffee shop in town—the woman who happens to be his late fiancée’s best friend.
Nora Caldwell didn't come to Raptor Creek by accident. She’s done letting fear make her choices, and she's ready to build a life of her own. But she’s also carrying a secret from before the mountain came down—one involving a silent, forbidden craving for the one man she can never have.
When Cormac steps in to help with her café renovation, the boundaries they both rely on begin to blur. He’s not supposed to notice the way she moves. He’s definitely not supposed to find a peace on his porch next to her that he hasn’t felt in five years.
Nora doesn't flinch at his grief, and Cormac can't keep pretending his walls are built to last. But when the truth of the past finally comes to light, it will either heal their broken pieces—or shatter their fragile future for good.
Broken Mountain Medic is a steamy, emotional standalone contemporary romance featuring a charming hero faking fine, a brave heroine who sees right through him, and a heavy dose of small-town forced proximity. This is Book 2 in the Silver Foxes of Raptor Creek series. No cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
Genre: Romance
