Burned Curves
(2026)(The sixth book in the Mountain Men of Wolfjaw Falls series)
A novel by Julie Scarlet
I drove eight hundred miles to find the man who knew what happened to my father. He stopped his truck for me in the rain before I even said the name.
Cam is all rough hands, gray at the temples, eyes that catalogue the broken latch on my sweater and the duffel that's the only thing I own. He buys me a tow. Drops me at the motel. And when I say my father's name out loud the next morning, the air leaves his face like a man who's been waiting three years for the door to open.
He doesn't ask what I want. He already knows.
I came to this town for answers. I didn't come for the way he steps in front of me when the wrong men cross the street. For the way he's started saying we.
He says he can keep me alive. He doesn't say what it'll cost.
My father gave me a thumb drive and one sentence — only use this when you have nowhere left to run.
Tell me, Cam. Is that where I am?
