Guardian of Talon Mountain by Delta James

I came to Glacier Hollow for answers. I didn’t expect to find him.

My brother vanished on this mountain, and no one believed me when I said something felt wrong. So I found a way to come here myself. Armed with a research grant and a quiet desperation, I set out to uncover the truth.
I didn’t count on Caleb Knox—gruff, glacial-eyed, and about as welcoming as a storm. He says I don’t belong here. Says I’m poking into shadows best left untouched.
But when accidents pile up and someone starts tracking my every move, Caleb becomes the only man I can trust. The only man I want. He’s raw. Relentless. Protective in a way that sears.
He says I’m his to protect.
But the truth I came for? It’s bigger than either of us imagined—and someone will do anything to keep it buried.
