Running Wild Simple Wild, Book 4
Veterinarian Marie Lehr knows heartbreak all too well after pining fruitlessly for her best friend. Having learned love’s harsh lessons, she vows never again to long for someone who doesn’t reciprocate, especially with her childbearing years waning. Yet finding a man who awakens her like that rugged bush pilot once did seems impossible.
Certainly not competitive musher Tyler Brady, despite their charged chemistry. Their heated altercation left Marie certain the handsome but arrogant man was spiteful. Or so she thinks until a chance encounter volunteering at the Iditarod Sled Race reveals her first impression may be false. The attraction between them ignites, but Tyler’s heart belongs elsewhere, limiting him to friendship.
Marie has traveled this road before and knows its destination. Still, no matter how hard she fights her growing feelings for Tyler, fate seems destined to pull her down the same trail once more. With her sense of control challenged and her future uncertain, Marie must navigate between the safe path and one paved with heartbreak. Past pain colored her perspective, but new revelations may illuminate an unexpected way forward. On the brink of a crossroads, Marie will discover either wisdom or folly in venturing beyond old wounds toward new possibilities.
