description:  Lucky Two years ago I humiliated myself by declaring my love to an older man who clearly didnt share my feelings. And thats fine. One day Zach will come around. Meanwhile Ive built a life for myself in northern Montana pursuing my college degree while working hard toward certification in high-risk alpine search and rescue on the side. And perhaps Ive kept the danger part a secret from my two dads. After all what they dont know wont hurt them... Everythings going exactly as planned until my dads send Zach to check on me just as Im dealing with an ex who doesnt understand the meaning of the word no. Its bad enough Zach still thinks of me as a child; now he also thinks Im incapable of looking out for myself. I need to get him off my back before he finds out Im not heading to Wyoming for summer break like everyone thinks. Im going to Glacier National Park to learn how to rappel from helicopters Zach Two years ago I wanted something I couldn't have so I threw myself back into my job as an Army Ranger and wound up scarred in more ways than one. When the army dumps my sorry self back into the real world its time to start over. I accept a summer job teaching high-risk search and rescue. On the way there all I have to do is peek in on little Lucky Reed and make sure hes okay. Hes not. Someone has it out for him and Ill be damned if Im going to let him get hurt on my watch. My plan is to keep him safe until he heads south for his summer job playing trail guide to tourists. Once hes gone Ill be free to head to Glacier where my biggest challenge will be keeping a handful of alpine search and rescue students safe as they learn how to dangle from helicopters high above the Rocky Mountains. Its all fine. Until its not. Danger follows us to Glacier and by the time I finally start seeing Lucky as more than the awkward teenager he used to be I wonder if its too late to convince him that this scarred soldier sees him as anything but little anymore.
