Falling for It

The Fool – Falling for It
An Arcana of Love Novel
By Mark Boyer

Justin Flores lives for adventure behind the lens. Wandering trails, chasing light, and skirting rules are second nature for the impulsive travel photographer. But when his creative detours land him face-to-face with a gruff national park ranger, Justin discovers that some boundaries are harder—and more tempting—to cross.

Cole Bennett doesn’t believe in chances—second or otherwise. The ex-Marine turned park ranger lives by order, discipline, and protocols that keep people safe. Tourists like Justin, with his reckless grin and restless energy, are exactly the kind of chaos he doesn’t allow into his carefully controlled life.

But the wilderness has other plans. From thunderstorms and close encounters with wildlife to late-night campfires under starlight, Justin and Cole are thrown together again and again. What starts as irritation sparks into something neither expected: trust, vulnerability, and a connection that runs deeper than either man is ready to admit.

Cole has spent years hiding from the noise of the world. Justin has spent his life running from the weight of staying still. Together, they might just find the courage to stop fighting fate—and fall for something real.

Perfect for fans of slow-burn tension, rugged wilderness backdrops, and opposites-attract romance, The Fool – Falling for It is a heartfelt story of learning to risk your heart when love calls your bluff.
