Tusk and Timber

By Brea Holden

"Some prisons are made of iron. The worst ones are made of wanting to stay."

Blythe Carraway hiked up a freezing mountain with a bicycle chain and a mission: stop an illegal logging operation from destroying an old-growth forest. She didn't plan on a generational blizzard, and she certainly didn't plan on Soren Voss.

Massive, scarred, and operating by his own rules, the ex-Army Ranger cuts her free and locks her inside his remote, twelve-hundred-square-foot cabin to survive the deadly storm. To Blythe, Soren is a criminal and a captor. To Soren, Blythe is a dangerous complication.

But as the snow traps them together, the lines between captor and captive begin to blur. Blythe discovers a locked room in the cabin, revealing that Soren isn't destroying the forest-he's secretly gathering evidence to expose a massive corporation dumping toxic waste into the watershed. Using her scientific expertise, Blythe teams up with the man holding her hostage to build an airtight case.

As their hostile dynamic shifts into an intense, undeniable bond, the outside world closes in. Corporate enforcers are hunting them, but the greatest threat comes from within the cabin. Blythe is carrying a dark secret from her past as an eco-saboteur-one that connects directly to Soren's deepest wounds. When the truth comes out, the foundation they've built might collapse faster than a shed roof in the snow.
