Overview

Three ex-military men. One remote mountain. Zero plans for drama.

Magnus, Brody, and Creed made a pact at eighteen—serve their country, then build a quiet life off-grid. Now in their mid-forties, Magnus and Brody are settling into their hard-earned peace, waiting for Creed to return and complete their dream homestead.

But everything changes the day a century-old casket is unearthed in their garden.

When the local police come knocking, they bring Trent—a charming antique dealer with a keen eye and a hidden longing for something more. He’s lived in Emberwood his whole life, where nothing ever happens... until now.

Drawn into a century-old mystery, Magnus and Trent must unravel secrets buried deep in the mountain’s history—before someone makes sure they stay buried for good.

A body. A mystery. A sizzling connection neither man saw coming. Can love bloom while danger looms—or will the past drag them down with it?
