Whiteout with the Ranger
When a climber falls near Raven's Saddle and a whiteout swallows the mountain whole, Dr. Lena Ortiz has exactly one radio, one failing patient, and one impossible partner: Elias Boone, the ranger she's blamed for years for the rescue that broke them. Stranded with a single fading signal and a truth neither of them has said aloud, they fight the storm, the silence, and the institution that let a preventable failure happen twice. As old wounds resurface and a recovered transmission threatens to prove her worst fears right, Lena must decide whether to trust her own judgment, his changed choices, or both. Elias can get them off this mountain—but keeping Lena means finally telling her the truth he once carried alone, even if it costs him everything he's protected. A taut, tender, competence-forward romantic suspense novella and Book 1 of the Northline Rescue trilogy, for readers who want breathless danger, hard-earned trust, and a love strong enough to survive the whiteout.
