The Girl from Parker Ridge

Katherine Parker never planned on falling in love with the boy who wandered into her mountain town with tattoos, trouble, and a heart he swore he didn't have. Raised by a family of miners and wild country boys, Katherine's world is loud, messy, and full of love until the day a cave explosion tears it apart. Azrael Baker wasn't supposed to stay. He wasn't supposed to care. But the Parker girl with the sunshine smile pulls him in deeper than the roots of the mountain itself. Through summer nights, muddy rides, stolen kisses, and a Fourth of July that changed everything, Katherine and Azrael build something fragile and fierce. But when tragedy strikes, they must fight their way back to each other through fear, heartbreak, recovery, and the kind of love that refuses to die. This is a story about family. About survival. About loving someone so deeply it becomes home. The Parkers never back down. Neither does love.
