I Burned My Tongue in Colorado

A Romantic Comedy and Wilderness Misadventure Novel

She’s a city girl doing it for the ‘Gram. He’s a mountain man who just wants to be left alone. In the Colorado wilderness, the only thing higher than the altitude is the tension.

Samantha Li is a professional influencer on the verge of her big break. All she has to do is travel to a five-star resort in Aster Park, Colorado, and sell the "authentic luxury" experience to her followers. There’s just one problem: Samantha is terrified of nature, her hiking boots are pristine, and she just spit scalding hot cappuccino all over her guide.

Noah Barrett hates LuxeLife Resorts. He hates what they represent, and he definitely hates that he’s being blackmailed into babysitting their latest social media starlet. He prefers the company of his wolf-dog, Yeti, and the silence of the peaks. He has zero patience for a high-maintenance city girl who thinks "roughing it" means slow Wi-Fi.

When a corporate ultimatum forces them to team up to save Noah's family business, the pair must navigate whitewater rapids, aggressive moose, and a bizarrely rhythmic endangered bird.

But when a sudden storm traps them in a rustic cabin with only one blanket (and zero cell service), the friction between them sparks a fire hot enough to melt the snow.

Suddenly, Samantha isn't posing anymore. And Noah is starting to realize that the most beautiful view on the mountain might be the girl standing right in front of him.

Can they save the mountain without killing each other first? Or will they realize that the best adventures are the ones you can't filter?

I Burned My Tongue in Colorado is a laugh-out-loud, steamy romantic comedy featuring a grump-meets-sunshine dynamic, a scene-stealing dog, and a hard-won Happy Ever After.
