Wild Tracker

He's mapped every mile of these mountains. He never mapped a way out of solitude.

Logan Hunter doesn't need much. He has the northern backcountry, his maps, and thirty years of knowing this terrain better than any person alive. When he finds ATV tracks and a professional hunting blind at the most strategic point in the upper corridor — placed by someone who knew exactly where the bears move and when — he knows what he's looking at. He's not ready to tell the system yet. He wants to understand it first.

Arden Shaw has been chasing the same wildlife trafficking network through Georgia and Virginia for eighteen months, working alone because every time it gets close through official channels, the operation adjusts. Someone inside is watching. She comes to Townsend with one tip, eighteen months of case files, and no intention of trusting anyone until she has a reason to.

Logan Hunter calls her back in an hour. That's a reason.

What starts as two separate investigations pointing at the same mountains becomes something neither of them expected — a partnership that runs deeper than the case, between two people who have been carrying their work alone for so long they've forgotten what it feels like not to.

Wild Tracker is a slow-burn, sweet-with-heat bear shifter romance set in the raw, clarifying beauty of the Smoky Mountains in early spring. It's a story of two solitary people, a shared map, and a love built the way the best things in these mountains are built — quietly, carefully, and to last. Perfect for a long quiet evening with a bowl of something warm and a read you won't want to put down.
