Beneath the Summit

Beneath the Summit

Love Under Fire - Book One

He came to the mountains to escape his past. She came looking for the truth. Neither expected to fall in love.

Investigative journalist Claire Bennett has a talent for finding trouble. Unfortunately, trouble has a habit of finding her first.

When a missing woman's trail leads Claire to a luxurious mountain resort, she expects secrets, suspicious employees, and maybe a career-saving story.

What she doesn't expect is Luke Mercer.

Former military rescue specialist turned security chief, Luke is infuriatingly handsome, fiercely protective, and entirely too good at getting under Claire's skin. He's also hiding scars from a rescue mission that went horribly wrong.

Their first meeting is a disaster.

Their chemistry? Absolutely undeniable.

But beneath the breathtaking mountain views and five-star accommodations, something sinister is happening. Guests are being watched. Employees are disappearing. And someone is willing to kill to keep the resort's secrets buried.

When a violent storm traps them together, Claire and Luke must navigate armed enemies, dangerous lies, and an attraction neither can resist.

The closer they get to the truth, the harder they fall for each other.

And as the danger escalates, Luke faces an impossible choice: protect the woman he's falling in love with-or trust her enough to fight beside him.

Because sometimes the greatest risk isn't facing death.

It's falling in love with someone you can't bear to lose.
