Whisper of Rain

Former Air Force pararescueman Rhett Kincaid knows exactly how the wilderness swallows people. Now running search and rescue and remote investigations out of Knife's Edge, he's seen hikers vanish, bush planes go down, and people walk into the backcountry because they don't want to be found. So when a stubborn journalist arrives insisting her friend didn't just wander off, he's fairly sure he knows how the story ends.

Pearl Tucker "Tuck" has built her career chasing the stories nobody wants told, and she doesn't care about the odds. Her colleague Jenna was headed into a remote stretch of Alaska, somewhere she had no business going alone, and then she went silent. Pearl is done waiting for answers from people who keep calling it an accident. If Rhett won't take her into the mountains, she'll go herself. Unfortunately for his peace of mind, she means it.

The deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes that Jenna didn't get lost. She found something: an old crime someone has spent years keeping hidden. As the rain washes long-held secrets to the surface, the heat between Rhett and Pearl burns hotter than either of them planned. But somewhere out in the storm, the man who silenced Jenna is waiting, and he's already proven he'll bury anyone who gets too close to the truth.
