Rachel wasn't looking for love in the mountains-just a solo hike, a quiet trail, a chance to breathe.
Then she collided with Tig.
Tall, shirtless, and built like the woods themselves molded him, Tig is the kind of man who makes you forget the map, the weather, and maybe your own name. Rachel-paint-splattered, sharp-tongued, gorgeous without trying-meets his stare, and the spark is instant. One shared trail becomes pizza at a campground. One kiss becomes a night tangled together in a tent. One touch becomes something neither of them can walk away from.
Six weeks later, they return to the wilderness for three days... and the kind of fantasies they've only hinted at. What begins as playful turns heated fast-cold water, warm skin, teasing hands, stolen moments beneath the trees, and a meadow that changes everything.
But the heat is only part of it.
Out here-where the world is quiet and the trees don't judge-Rachel allows herself to want boldly and openly. Tig meets her with hungry devotion and a steady, reverent tenderness she's never been given before.
This isn't just a fantasy weekend.
It's a stripping-down of fear, old stories, and every rule she once lived under.
It's two people finally touching each other the way they've always wanted to-unfiltered, laughing, breathless, intimate, and true.
By the time they hike out, their legs are shaking... and it has almost nothing to do with the trail.
Take Me Hiking is a high-heat outdoor romance about surrender, laughter, raw desire, and finally letting someone see you-all of you-and wanting you more because of it.
