Unplugged Hearts by Layla Valentine

He was never meant to be found.

I was never meant to stay, but the mountains had other plans.

Rowan

I didn’t come to the mountains to heal.

I came here to disappear.

After the internet decided I was its villain, I erased myself – my name, my face, my past – and built a life where silence was the only thing that couldn’t betray me.

Then a woman crashes into my world, almost literally.

She’s loud, unprepared, impossible to ignore, and standing on land she shouldn’t be on. I should send her away immediately. Instead, a storm traps her here…

The longer she stays, the more dangerous it becomes for my secrets, for my heart, and for the life I swore I’d never let anyone touch again.

Lola

I was never meant to be an influencer.

I was meant to tell real stories.

But when my life backs me into a corner, I’ll do whatever it takes to escape it, even if that means pretending I belong in the wilderness for a sponsorship that could change everything.

I just didn’t expect my drone to crash… or the man I’d find when I went looking for it.

Rowan is gruff, guarded, and hiding from the world for reasons he won’t share. He wants me gone…

Days turn into nights. Silence turns into connection. And somewhere between the storms and the secrets, I fall for a man who was never meant to be found…
