Series:
Eagle Mountain: Unsolved Mysteries (Book 2)
A child disappears in the mountains
And reunites two people looking for answers…
Nurse Willa Ryan is shocked to discover Aaron Ames is a
sheriff's deputy in Eagle Mountain. Aaron had been the love of her life --
until a tragedy tore them apart. But with a child missing in the Colorado
wilderness, they must put aside the past and focus on bringing the girl home.
As the high-stakes investigation leads them down one dark path after another,
Willa and Aaron find comfort in their rekindled attraction. And when Willa also
disappears, Aaron will scale every jagged rock to find her and make their
reunion permanent.
Terrific book that grabbed my attention from the start
and kept me hooked to the end. Willa and her brother moved to Eagle Mountain
from Vermont, escaping the rumors that followed her brother after being accused
of a crime he didn't commit. That false accusation also ended her relationship
with Deputy Aaron Ames, one of the investigating officers. Willa is a nurse and
part of the Eagle Mountain Search and Rescue team. The last thing Willa
expected during a rescue mission was finding Aaron at the scene as an Eagle
Mountain deputy.
Attraction still sparks between them, but Willa can't
forget that Aaron was one of Gary's accusers. When a young girl disappears from
a nearby camp, Aaron and Willa find themselves working together to find the
girl. Aaron had never stopped caring for Willa, but was sure she would never
forgive him for suspecting her brother. With a bit of time and distance from
the events surrounding their breakup, and the feelings that continue to grow
between them, Aaron and Willa had the opportunity to talk through the past and
realize they'd never stopped loving each other.
The suspense of the story was excellent. First was the
suspicious death of a motorist who was also an employee of the camp. Then the
disappearance of the girl, Olivia. Questions about whether she left on her own
or was taken directed the investigation. The intensity ramped up with the
revelation of disturbing information. I was glued to the pages when an
unexpected twist followed Willa's disappearance. A very satisfying resolution
led to the epilogue and the answer to one final question.
I look forward to seeing what is in store for the other
two Ames brothers, Carter and Dalton.
