Challenging the Mountain Man
(2025)(A book in the Whispered Echoes Season 2 series)
A novel by Megan Ryder
A steamy wilderness romance with forced proximity, danger, and a stubborn ex-military guide who meets his match.
Tyler Grady doesn’t do babysitting. The former recon specialist turned wilderness guide likes solitude, silence, and maybe the occasional one-night stand with no strings attached. So when he’s hired to escort a rich girl through the Montana wilds for a photo op? Hard pass—until he sees her.
Lark Prescott is determined to prove she’s more than a spoiled daddy’s girl. Nature photography isn’t just a hobby—it’s her passion. And she’s not about to let a brooding, bossy mountain man ruin her shot.
But when an unexpected storm and a close brush with danger leave them stranded together overnight, sparks fly hotter than their campfire. She’s hunting the perfect shot—he’s trying not to fall for the one woman who sees through his armor.
Now Tyler has one job: keep her safe. But the hardest part might be keeping his hands—and heart—off her.
Mountains keep their secrets, but can love heal their scars?
The untamed beauty of the mountains is no match for these scarred men. Fate brings women who hold the power to mend their wounds, but first, they must navigate the rugged terrain of their pasts. As they confront their scars, they discover that true healing can only come from one thing… love.
Each story in ‘Whispered Echoes’ delves into the lives of our wounded heroes and the courageous women who dare to love them.
Genre: Romance
