Keely Andersen hasn’t visited her hometown more than a
handful of times in the last ten years, but when her
doctoral research sends her back to Marietta for the
immediate future, she can’t wait to reconnect with the
community and the mountains she missed so much. Of course,
nothing goes as planned, and Keely’s truck breaks down a few
miles outside of town. When help arrives, she finds herself
face to face with her brother’s best friend – the guy she
used to call big, bad and gorgeous – Jonah Clark.
Still settling back into Marietta after a harrowing stint as
an army helicopter pilot, Jonah Clark plans to spend a few
days hiking the local mountains to prepare for his job as a
pilot for Crawford County’s Search and Rescue team. When he
stops to help a stranded driver, Jonah is shocked to find
his best friend’s younger sister is the one behind the
wheel. Only now, instead of the geeky teen he remembered,
Keely is all grown up with curves he can’t resist.
Though the sparks of attraction ignite immediately, they're
hesitant to act because of their shared past. But when a
project dear to their hearts is threatened, and a boy is
lost on Copper Mountain, Keely and Jonah drop everything to
fight for what matters, including each other.
