Koa never learned the difference between love and obsession. Luckily for him, neither did Silas.
After his latest fling goes life-ruiningly awry, Koa decides to drop out of college and run away from his problems under the guise of a writing retreat, in Aspen Brook, Montana. Maybe with enough time and space, he can bang out the sequel to the book of his heart, while burying the obsessive tendencies that have driven away every man he's ever been with. But no matter how far Koa runs, trouble follows, this time in the form of a blisteringly sexy deputy, who revives all the impulses Koa so desperately wants to banish.
Staying away from Deputy Silas Nairo isn't an option, though. Someone is lurking in the woods, watching and waiting for Koa's most intimate secrets to be revealed, and Silas might be Koa's only line of defense, in this middle-of-nowhere mountain town. But Silas is hiding things, too. A double life is shrouded behind his eyes, and each time he touches Koa, the mask of stoicism slips further.
Both men are in too deep, and each encounter sends them hurdling into one another's possession and obsession. But, in matters of love, authors of Aspen go write to the heart.
