Forest Reed

Forest Reed thought he’d left the chaos of war behind when he returned to Frasier Mountain. But peace is hard to come by when danger has a way of finding him. Stoic, protective, and haunted by the things he’s seen, Forest has sworn never to let his guard down again. Until Zoe.

Zoe isn’t the type to ask for help. Fierce and independent, she’s survived more than most people know—but she can’t outrun the shadows from her past. When a violent threat forces her into hiding, Forest becomes the only man standing between her and the danger closing in.

As they fight side by side, sparks ignite into something neither of them expected. But loving Zoe means risking everything Forest has tried to protect—including his heart. And when the enemy strikes, protecting her might cost him more than his life.

On Frasier Mountain, love is as dangerous as the fight to survive… and Forest will stop at nothing to keep Zoe safe.
