Summary
For librarian Lottie “Rook” Ingellvar, the pandemic was not the only darkness that swept over her life in 2020. An act of unbelievable betrayal and violence has left her numb as the world begins to thaw and life returns to normal. Struggling with equilibrium, her boss in special collections proposes to relieve her of her usual duties and set her up with a more flexible job - assisting a professor in his research.
In the distinguished, older Professor Volkarin, Rook finds a stability she’s never known and an easy charm that soon develops into a roiling, back-breaking crush that threatens to upend the careful walls she’s erected around her heart and body.

Summary
After a sudden and mysterious heart condition puts an end to Serena’s dance career, she is forced to move to a city thousands of miles away from the life she's built for herself. The hospital where she’ll be treated is the only place in the world that specializes in rare and unknown heart conditions, and Serena is shocked to find that at its head sits a long lost childhood friend.
Zayne has spent fifteen years honing his skills as a surgeon and physician by tuning out the world around him. Shaken by Serena’s return to his life, he nonetheless assumes that she will not be able to break through the tall walls he’s erected around his heart and mind. But as he struggles with his new willful and noncompliant patient, he finds himself softening, becoming protective, perhaps even sweet.
Can they maintain a clinical distance or will old feelings bloom into new love? And what will happen when someone new comes crashing into Serena's life, threatening to throw everything into chaos?

Summary
Things are changing for 27-year-old Diana Trevelyan. She’s just published her debut novel, just moved to a house deep in the wilderness to start work on her second, just acquiesced to the pressure of her doctors and gotten herself her first pair of hearing aids. But the hearing world is not all it’s cracked up to be and while isolation is what she so desperately sought, her newly mechanical ears have started to play tricks on her.
For Cullen Rutherford, things are staying unpleasantly the same. The same gig on his old service buddy’s cattle ranch, the same exasperated sponsor, the same nightmares. But as the autumn grows colder, reports of wolves terrorizing cattle become darker and stranger and Cullen finds himself forced to fall back on his training, and back into all his old fears.
The two meet in a sleepy mountain town as it prepares for its coldest, snowiest winter in decades. Will they be able to overcome their demons and find solace in each other? And what is happening out high on those lonely peaks?
