Publisher's Synopsis
Secrets of the Ridge
Some truths are buried deep. Some loves are worth burning for.
When photojournalist Charlie Hayes arrives in the quiet mountain town of Ridge Bend, she's not just chasing beauty-she's hiding from the wreckage of her past. Hired under false pretenses and bound to a man with dangerous intentions, Charlie never expected to fall for the very place she was meant to betray. And she definitely didn't expect Ethan Rivers.
Stoic, loyal, and haunted by his own past, Ethan is a search-and-rescue ranger who lives by instinct and honor. When Charlie stumbles into his world, he sees something fragile behind her guarded eyes. Something worth saving. But when disruptions begin to tear through the town and secrets surface with deadly consequences, Ethan realizes the woman he's falling for may be tied to it all.
As Ridge Bend burns and trust crumbles, Charlie and Ethan must navigate a storm of betrayal, loyalty, and the ghosts they tried to outrun. With danger closing in and choices narrowing fast, the truth may come at the cost of everything they love.
Secrets of the Ridge is a powerful story of redemption, forbidden love, and the unraveling of lies in a town that was never as quiet as it seemed.
