Close Enough to Touch (The Silver Ridge Series Book 1)

Wildlife investigator Avery Ward came to Silver Ridge to solve a series of brutal animal attacks.

What she found instead was a town buried in secrets, forests that seem to watch her back, and a man who feels far more dangerous than the creatures haunting the mountains.

Maddox Ashford is cold, guarded, and impossible to ignore. The deeper Avery’s investigation pulls her into his territory, the more reality begins to unravel around her. Strange disappearances. Creatures that move wrong in the dark. A presence in the woods that doesn’t hunt like anything human or animal.

And worst of all?

It’s learning.

As the line between predator and protector blurs, Avery discovers her connection to Silver Ridge may run far deeper than coincidence. Because something ancient has been waiting beneath the mountains…and it knows exactly who she is.

Now, with the forest closing in and the body count rising, Avery must decide who to trust before the thing watching from the shadows finally reaches her.

Close Enough to Touch is Book One of the Silver Ridge Series, a dark paranormal romance filled with mystery, tension, dangerous attraction, ancient secrets, and a possessive alpha willing to tear apart the world to protect his mate.
