Fatal Elevation

By Scarlett Hayes

A journalist seeking a story. A mountain guide running from his past. A murder that will force them both to face the truth.

Freelance journalist Avery Mitchell comes to Prospect, Colorado for a simple two-week assignment: write a feature about a charming mountain town's transformation. But when a guest at The Prospect House dies under suspicious circumstances, Avery's instincts tell her there's more to the story.

Mountain guide Cole Barrett knows these peaks better than anyone, and he knows when something doesn't add up. The official ruling is accident, but the evidence suggests murder. Together, Avery and Cole begin an investigation that will uncover century-old secrets, threaten a multi-million dollar development, and put them both in the crosshairs of a desperate killer.

As the danger escalates and their feelings deepen, Avery must decide: play it safe and go back to Denver, or risk everything for the truth-and for a chance at love in the last place she expected to find it.

Perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, cozy mysteries, and sweet romance with a mountain backdrop.
