Crossing paths

Katie Ruggle

Book - 2025

"WHY DATE A MOUNTAIN MAN? Because he can bring you to your peak. Norah Pax loves working for her family's Rocky Mountain bounty-hunting business. But unlike her adrenaline-junkie sisters, she only enjoys chasing skips from the safety of her laptop. She has all the computer skills she could want, but her fighting technique is lacking-so when all hands are needed, she dredges up her courage to ask surly MMA expert Dashiell Porter to teach her everything she needs to know. Dash may be terrifying to most, but his unexpected gentleness makes her feel safe, and it isn't long before things begin heating up. Dash is used to people slowly backing away when he enters a room, but a certain beautiful bounty hunter's earnest trust th...rows him off guard...and catches his attention. Yet as the two exchange punches and endearingly awkward flirtations, vultures circle. Every criminal in town has turned against the Pax girls, and they're willing to hit them where they're (supposedly) weakest: Norah. To keep herself and her family safe, Norah will need every new skill that Dash can teach her. Good thing that Dash is ready to do whatever it takes to protect the gentle yet fierce bounty hunter who stole his heart. The Rocky Mountains get unBEARably hot in Katie Ruggle's brand-new series packed with adventure, action, tall dark & scruffy heroes, and a sense of quirky humor that will be your next perfect escape"--

Review by Library Journal Review

Norah Pax is tired of feeling like the liability in her family's bounty-hunting business. Though her job and skill set are mostly behind-the-scenes research, recent events have shown that she can't always count on staying safe behind her laptop while her sisters risk their lives. Deciding it's time to learn to defend herself, she enlists the help of Dashiell Porter, former military man and MMA expert, to train her. Dash is a strong, scarred, and silent mountain of a man, and he somehow knows exactly how to calm anxious Norah and keep her feeling safe while giving her the skills she needs to survive her increasingly violent job. What neither of them expects is that falling in love might be an even greater adrenaline rush than fighting the bad guys--if they live long enough to enjoy it. VERDICT Ruggle's sequel to The Scenic Route (and her fourth novel featuring the Pax sisters) is a delight for fans of romantic suspense who also appreciate a sprinkle of humor. The epilogue, featuring an unexpected discovery by the fifth Pax sister, is sure to keep readers anxious for the next book.--Rebecca Moe
