After a breakup and a breakdown, June strips down and slips into an alpine lake, hoping to rinse off the mess of her life. Instead, she surfaces in a world that isn’t hers—a world without phones, without rules… and with a man who looks like he walked straight out of a fever dream.

Elias is all grit and growl, with hands built for work and a body made for sin. He lives by the land, trusts no one, and sure as hell doesn’t know what to do with a naked woman who just fell into his life—swearing, shivering, and too soft for this world.

She’s modern. He’s original.
And when survival forces them to share a cabin—and a bed—their connection burns hot and fast, all instinct and no apologies.

But this isn’t just a fling in the forest.
Because the past has teeth.
And love like this carves its mark deep.

Time-travel with no way back
“Only one bed” survival heat
Grumpy, guarded mountain man who worships her body
Cabin-core + prairie-core + portal fantasy smut
A heroine who finds more than love—she finds where she truly belongs

Welcome to the Colorado frontier, where fate is feral, love is lawless, and the original mountain man is ready to claim what's his.
