The Glass Mesa
In the high desert of northern New Mexico, a landscape architect and a geologist arrive at the same ruined lodge on opposite sides of a fight — and leave with everything changed. Liora Vance has one chance to redeem a career derailed by someone else's bad faith: restore a shuttered desert lodge before a luxury developer erases the fragile ecosystem beneath it. Cal Mercer is the geologist hired to prove the site is unsafe — except his core samples tell a different story, one a powerful developer needs to stay buried. When suppressed aquifer data forces them into an uneasy alliance, they have seventy-two hours, a disputed mesa, and a flash-flood storm between them and the truth. The Glass Mesa is a slow-burn contemporary romance with environmental stakes, charged fieldwork proximity, and a love story built from shared integrity and hard choices. Mild heat. Dual POV. Standalone HEA. For readers who want their romance to earn every degree of warmth. Free sample available.
