A nasty fall on a hiking trail represents Daniel’s crumbling life, but a handsome park ranger will rescue him in more ways than one.
Catching your boyfriend and best friend together would be bad for anyone, but being arrested for punching your best friend in the nose makes it much worse. When Daniel heads into the mountains for some alone time, things go from bad to awful as a fall leads to a life-threatening injury.
Ranger Joseph is everything Daniel has dreamed of, but his dreams never involved being carried down a mountain on a stretcher. As Daniel mends he discovers a relationship with Joseph may be his one chance for true love.
Daniel can’t seem to catch a break; just as his life starts improving, he’s attacked by an unknown assailant. With his life now in jeopardy, can the fledgling relationship survive or will everything he cherishes be lost?

Joseph flipped through the photos, almost unaware that I was with him. Suddenly he stopped flipping and said, “Oh, now this is interesting. This is what appears to be a marmot, an Olympic marmot, to be precise.” He turned toward me, a light in his eyes that hadn’t been there before.
“These are found only in this part of the world.” He was so wrapped up in what he was showing me that I don’t think he realized just how close he was sitting or how close his face was to mine. Trying not to make something out of nothing, I looked intently at the marmot, which incidentally looked like a cross between a beaver and squirrel. I tried to wait until Joseph moved away.
My God, he smelled like the woods. We were in the woods, and he smelled more like a forest than the forest did. I had to stop it. Maybe I should have faked being in pain so I could stop it before I embarrassed myself, again!
Joseph looked over at me.
“Did you know there are several species that live everywhere else in Washington state but here? There are also a few species that only live here… can only live here.”
Then his expression changed, and with the coolest movement, he leaned the extra few inches between us and kissed me. Just as soon as it started, it ended, leaving me a little lost. When he pulled away, he smiled.
Blake Allwood was born in west TN, then moved to Kansas City MO after attending college in Iowa. He met his husband, Shaun, in 1995 and they officially married in 2015, once the United States legalized gay marriage.

Typically, Blake can be found writing in the RV or by the fire with his laptop and their Jack Russell Terrier, Buddy, curled up between his legs or demanding his attention. Denver, their Siberian Husky mix is often asleep at his feet or playing tug of war with Shaun.
