Doing it in front of the crush who teased you for years.
This hike was supposed to be about hitting the reset button. Getting out of my comfort zone—and hey, maybe proving I’m not such a hopeless indoor girl after all.
Then I slip on a loose rock and go tumbling, scraping up my palms and twisting my ankle. It’s messy. It hurts. And the worst part my brother’s best friend saw the whole thing.
I had such a huge crush on this guy growing up.
And he teased me for years—before shocking the whole town by moving to a cabin in the woods and becoming a loner. Now this familiar face is a mystery to me.
Why did he move to the wilderness? What turned the handsome, laughing guy we all knew into a brooding mountain man?
And as he bandages me up in his cabin… can I keep this age-old crush under wraps?
Wild Peak is a short and steamy instalove story, starring a banged-up bookworm and the mountain man who can’t take his eyes off her.
