Bestselling author Katie Ruggle brings the Rockies to life in this quirky, adventure-filled romance!

WHY DATE A MOUNTAIN MAN? Because climbing him will leave you breathless.

Felicity Pax loves her job. She craves excitement, and being a bounty hunter gives her that in spades. So when her estranged mother disappears with a small fortune in tow, Felicity chases her like she would any other skip. Too bad she didn't barter on having increasingly infuriating (and infuriatingly hot) PI Bennett Green on her tail.

Bennett's got a job to do, and if that means shadowing Felicity...well...he's had worse assignments. Even if he's 99% sure the increasingly intriguing bounty hunter is leading him on a wild goose chase through the Rockies.

If she has to drag her PI tail through endless quirky mountain towns in order to shake him, that's what she's determined to do...but it isn't long before Felicity's intended distraction turns up a mystery worth solvingβ€”and Bennett becomes the unexpected partner she never realized she needed. As things heat up, Felicity will have to decide what's most important to herβ€”staying one step ahead of the "enemy" or giving herself freedom to experience the adventure of a lifetime.

The Rocky Mountains get unBEARably hot in Katie Ruggle's brand-new series packed with adventure, action, tall dark & scruffy heroes, and a sense of quirky humour that will be your next perfect escape.
