Synopsis

When the law can't protect you, Mountain Division can. Some secrets die with their keepers. Some follow the living home. Colin has one rule about assignments: no kids. His teammates know it, his boss knows it, and nobody asks why. When Kyle runs out of options and hands him the most important protection detail of the year, Colin's rule crumbles - along with every wall he's spent years building. Maren never expected to outlive her twin. She never expected to raise Mira's daughter Juniper as her own either - but that's exactly what she did, and she's never regretted a single moment. When danger shatters their quiet life and sends them running, all Maren has is a name her sister left behind. Arden Volker. A woman in Lyons, Colorado who is the sister of the fallen soldier Mira never revealed as Juni's father. As Mira's dangerous past closes in, Colin and Maren must trust each other completely - the one thing neither of them is any good at. Colin's walls have kept him safe for years. He never counted on Maren dismantling them from one side while a fearless five-year-old demolished them from the other. Shadow on the Mountain is a forced proximity bodyguard romance and slow-burn romantic suspense featuring a secret baby, a found family who cheers them on, a five-year-old who takes no prisoners, and a love worth stepping out of the shadows for.
