Torn between giving her the freedom she wants and keeping her against her will, he risks shattering their fragile trust.

Mari Merripen can’t stay away from bad boys, but when she heads to Recurve Ridge, she crosses paths with men who both desire her and want to destroy her.

In a terror-fueled haze after being assaulted, Mari races through a forest she doesn’t know, hell-bent on survival. When she crashes into a mountain of a man, she isn’t sure if he’s her salvation… or her new tormentor. She cowers in his home, healing slowly, and vows not to give her heart away. But the five men of Recurve Ridge etch themselves soul deep—from the cheeky bartender to the unyielding outlaw who saved her life but refuses to let her go. Each mirrors her trauma and makes taking her freedom harder with each sunrise.

Robe Huntingdon craves the serenity of the upstate New York mountain range he calls home. Recurve Ridge is perfect, except for the enemy on his doorstep, who earned him a dishonorable discharge. Mari Merripen showcases what he hates about the society that disdains his existence and everything he desires. Torn between giving her the freedom she wants and keeping her against her will, he risks shattering their fragile trust. Robe finally offers her a truth he knows will break her: his enemy is her enemy.

She can’t go home, just like everyone on Recurve Ridge.
