Bøger i Mountains serien

Fresh out of college, Jake Landon's heading to the mountains for a season as a forest ranger. A gap year before returning to school might give him enough time to sort out his residency and his sexuality-he's deep in the closet and a complete rookie. Some crusty old partner who speaks three words a day won't entice him.Except his partner turns out to be Kurt Carlson: confident, competent, and experienced. He's also young, hot, friendly, and considers clothing optional when it's just two guys in the wilderness. Sharing a small cabin with this walking temptation is stressing Jake's sanity-is he sending signals, or just being Kurt? How would Kurt react if he found out his new partner wants to start a fire of a different kind? Jake's terrified-they have to live together for five months no matter what.Enough sparks fly between the rangers to set the trees alight, but it takes a raging inferno to make Jake and Kurt admit to the heat between them.

Forest rangers in summer, ski bums in winter-the snows send Jake Landon and Kurt Carlson to the exclusive Wapiti Creek Ski Resort. The snow is perfect, the mountains gorgeous, but they're there to work.A novice skier, Jake's been assigned to run the bunny lift, but Kurt's afraid he'll be stuck shoveling snow all winter. Instructing at a private ski school should be his dream job, but it brings giggles and sideways glances among their new friends.All summer, Jake and Kurt were alone in the wilderness. If Jake wanted to stay in the closet, it didn't matter. Now they have to navigate a relationship in public, where the five-year-old twins who've adopted Jake as their ski buddy are as big a nuisance as the ski patroller who's crushing on him.Would-be friends, vicious coworkers, and the perils of the mountain could mean the end for Kurt and Jake, but their biggest danger comes from each other.

Every night ski patrol Mark McAvoy relives the avalanche that took a life on his watch. Emotionally fragile and single by choice, he's aghast at his friends' taking charge of his social life. At least hosting a potluck will provide him with a good meal.Invited to the potluck on a whim, Allan Tengerdie catches Mark's eye-and taste buds. This cuddly chef could be perfect for a lonely, hungry skier. Too bad Allan falls better than he skis. When Allan's injured and risks losing his catering company, he's afraid to ask too much of a man he barely knows.Mark wants to help but has his own problems. Was the avalanche a tragic accident or cold-blooded murder? His role in the inquiry leaves Mark in trouble at work, at the mercy of the law, and with too much time on his hands. If he clings tightly to Allan, will they be swept away together?

Jake Landon thinks a second ranger season in the Colorado Rockies with his hyper-competent lover Kurt Carlson is close enough to heaven, and a national forest big enough to be his closet. City life, school-and the luxuries of electricity and running water-can wait, maybe forever, as long as Jake doesn't have to come out. He doesn't plan on Kurt's vision of his future being as narrow and direct as the single track roads through the woods."Your future, your fear, and me," Kurt tells Jake. "You can have two of the three, so choose wisely." Jake may have no choices left after they stumble on armed men guarding a beautiful but deadly crop that doesn't belong among the pines and spruces. Angry men with guns are only one danger in the Colorado wilderness, and Jake's reluctance to come out is now his smallest problem.Kurt's skills and Jake's quick wits may not be enough to get them out of this mess-how much of the blood shed on the mountain will be theirs?
