Peak of Danger

Golden Meadow Mountain Men #1

by Melissa Williams

Mackenzie Roberts didn’t come to Golden Meadow Mountain for a fresh start.
She came to disappear.

After witnessing her ex-boyfriend’s murder—and becoming the next target—Mackenzie flees to the one place no one should think to look: her late aunt’s secluded mountain home. With no paper trail and a new identity, she’s determined to keep her head down and survive.

Falcon Bennett, former Navy SEAL and head of Summit Security, doesn’t miss details—and the quiet, guarded woman working at the local diner doesn’t add up. When a violent attack shatters the illusion of safety, Falcon steps in, uncovering a threat far more calculated than a small-town stalker.

Someone is hunting Mackenzie.
And they don’t miss.

Forced into close quarters as the danger escalates, Mackenzie refuses to be handled like a liability—even as Falcon’s control begins to crack under the weight of something he hasn’t felt in years. What starts as protection becomes something deeper, something neither of them can afford… and neither of them can stop.

As the past closes in and the body count rises, Falcon and his team uncover the truth: the man hunting Mackenzie isn’t just cleaning up loose ends—he’s running out of time. And desperate men are the most dangerous of all.

With nowhere left to run, Mackenzie makes a choice—to stop hiding and face the threat head-on. But when the final confrontation explodes into chaos, Falcon is forced to risk everything to save the woman who’s become more than a mission.

She’s become his future.
