Kiss at Sequoia Lake (Book 1)

After receiving a kidney transplant, Avery Adams is determined to embrace her inner adventurer and discover all that life has to offer. However, her experience with adventure has been limited; the closest she has come to it was during sixth-grade science camp. Eager to make the most of her summer in her picturesque Sierra Nevada town, she accepts a position as a guide at the local adventure lodge. Little does she know that her most significant challenge will come in the form of a tall, rugged man with undeniable alpha-male charisma.

Tyson Donovan, a member of the Sequoia Elite Mountain Rescue team, has built a life around defying death and rescuing outdoor enthusiasts from perilous situations. His motto, "The world is my home," not only reflects his adventurous spirit but also tends to scare off women who wish to settle down with him. When his father's health places their family-owned adventure lodge at risk of going under, Tyson returns home, quickly recalling the reasons he had left in the first place—until he encounters Avery, the captivating new guide whose energy and passion inspire him to rethink his choices.

As Tyson pushes Avery beyond the limits of her inexperience, he introduces her to lessons in romance that no book could ever convey. In turn, Avery's exuberant zest for life reveals to Tyson the profound healing effects love can offer. Yet, in a moment of wrong judgment, their budding relationship faces a severe test, forcing them both to take the ultimate leap—into an adventure that promises to be life-changing.

Together, they navigate through challenges that test their boundaries and their growing connection. Avery, no longer the naive girl she was, learns to confront fears and embrace the unpredictability of adventure, with Tyson by her side. Meanwhile, Tyson discovers that vulnerability can be a source of strength when shared with someone who understands the importance of a meaningful connection.

Their journey is not just about outdoor escapades but also about emotional growth and discovering the depths of love. Even as obstacles arise, it is their willingness to take risks that ultimately leads them to uncover the true meaning of partnership and love—a lesson that will last beyond the adventurous summer in the Sierra Nevada.

In the end, Avery and Tyson’s story serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most exhilarating adventures happen when we step outside our comfort zones and allow ourselves to be challenged by love and connection. Through their experiences, both characters emerge transformed, learning that with great love comes the courage to embrace whatever life throws their way—an adventure that promises to last a lifetime.
