The Man Across the Trees

He watches her windows.
He knows her routine.
And he may be the only reason she survives.

After a humiliating public breakup, bestselling thriller writer Nyla Brooks retreats to an isolated mountain cabin to finish the manuscript that could save her collapsing career.

She expects silence.

Instead, she finds Silas North.

Her only neighbor is a scarred, brooding former search-and-rescue officer with piercing blue eyes and an unsettling habit of noticing everything-when Nyla leaves, when she returns, and which windows she forgets to lock.

Nyla assumes Silas is the danger.

Then a woman is found murdered exactly like a victim in Nyla's unpublished manuscript.

A manuscript stored only on her laptop.

When another body appears, the killer makes one thing clear: Nyla is not simply being watched. She is being pulled into a story someone intends to finish in blood.

Silas finally admits the truth.

He has been watching her.

But only because he saw someone else watching first.

Forced into the fortified home of the man she does not trust, Nyla must decide whether Silas is an obsessive protector...or a patient predator creating the perfect threat so she will have nowhere else to turn.

Because someone on the mountain knows every murder Nyla wrote.

Someone has access to Silas's darkest past.

And someone has already decided that the writer dies last.

The Man Across the Trees is a dark, steamy BWWM romantic suspense featuring an isolated cabin, a wounded and obsessive protector, forced proximity, stalker-adjacent tension, deadly secrets, and a hero who will burn down the mountain before he lets anyone take her.
