Alongside Lucy ebook

Lucy's done with love. Jacks never found it.

Hiking the entire Appalachian Trail was supposed to mark Lucy's final assertion of independence before returning to life solo after losing her husband. She's learned to trust herself in the wilderness, but when shin splints force her to slow down, she's surprised by how much she craves touch and company from a charming sports therapist who makes her forget she's supposed to be hiking alone. Then she finds a cache of guns hidden beneath a cover of leaves.

When criminals attack, survival trumps solitude.

Getting lost in the Vermont wilderness wasn't part of Jacks' hiking plans. A decade of hiking sections of the trail taught him to find peace in the mountains after losing his grandmother but never required he develop any survival skills. Luckily, he's got Lucy. Not only can she find water and navigate without cell service, her fierce spirit and beautiful body awaken desires he didn't know he was missing. He's confident they can handle whatever nature throws at them, but the people who left hidden guns are a different kind of dangerous.

Some partnerships are forged in fire and fear.

After Lucy is drugged and left to die in the wilderness, she's got nothing but her fierce determination to survive. Meanwhile Jacks has supplies, but no survival skills or sense of direction. Working together is the only chance they've got. With criminals tracking them and no rescue coming, they learn that the strongest foundation isn't built on self-reliance or careful planning. It can only be shaped by two people who choose to face the unknown together, even when the stakes are life and death.

This romantic suspense features a strong, independent woman who wants love for the joy of companionship and a man who seeks a true and equal partner. They’ll get their HEA, but not without some help from friends. Perfect for women who are brave enough to adventure solo, strong enough to dine alone, and crazy enough to believe they can have all of that and a relationship, this story might just change the way you see the woods.
