Description

The mountain wants him detached. She demands everything he has.

Mike Wild, the Search and Rescue Coordinator, lives by flawless geometry: keep emotion out, keep the mission controlled, and always know your exit strategy. After a reckless solo descent to save a lost environmental journalist, Sierra Beck, he broke every one of his rules. Now, the quiet, analytical leader is faced with his most terrifying challenge yet: commitment.

Sierra came to the Sentinel Mountains for a story. She stayed for the man who pulled her from the ice. But Mike's attempt to escape the guilt of his past is pushing him toward an even greater risk—a dangerous, unauthorized expedition into the Lost Plateau, the Sentinel's last unmapped territory.

To survive the mountain, they need his survival skills and her analytical brilliance. To survive each other, Mike must risk not just his life, but the cold distance he built his life upon. Because when the world's most precise man falls for the world's most relentless truth-seeker, the only path to safety is through the heart of the storm.
