All the Ways We're Wrong

"You made a list of reasons why you don't want to have sex with me?"
Ava Blum may be a sparkly, extroverted movie-star known for her extraordinary beauty, but she's hiding the truth. She's a divorced, single mother with PTSD, low self-esteem, and a non-existent love life. Unable to shake the lasting effects of abuse, she grieves her fortieth birthday alone in a remote mountain cabin.
Killian Kelly is a man of few words. A bookish, outdoorsy engineer, he keeps things simple. Abandoned before he was three, he barely survived childhood. Thirty years later, he's found peace in his well-ordered, solitary life working in national forests.
When a mudslide buries Ava alive, Killian rescues her and guides her down the mountain. Surviving the wilderness together leads to an unexpected, inescapable bond. But they're opposites with incompatible lives, and so they agree to go their separate ways. Instead, they fall into a reckless, passionate affair.
Ava's convinced she's not good enough for love, and Killian doesn't know what love is. When they can't walk away, they have to decide whether anything right can come from all the ways they're wrong.
