Shadow of Misty Mountain by Delta James

Travis Holt thought he could outrun his past.

Abby Westwood barely escaped an attack at her apartment, and now she’s on the run. Her only refuge? Misty Mountain, a remote and wild place tied to the secrets of her brother’s death. Desperate for answers, she seeks out the one man who might hold them, Travis Holt.

Once a Navy SEAL, now a recluse hidden deep in the Rockies, Travis has spent years burying his demons beneath the snow-covered silence of Misty Mountain. But when Abby arrives, his world fractures. She’s the little sister of the man he swore to protect. And she’s being hunted.

Abby never believed the official story behind her brother’s death. Her search for the truth leads her straight into the arms of the one man her brother told her to find. But Travis is nothing like she expected, colder than the mountain air, harder than the steel resolve in his storm-gray eyes. And yet, when danger comes knocking, he becomes her shield, her protector…her only chance at survival.

Snowed in together, the heat between them burns hotter than the fire in his cabin. As deadly enemies close in, Travis must decide, stay in the shadows and let Abby go, or fight back and claim what’s his.

Because the past isn’t done with them. And this time, Travis Holt isn’t running.
