Rock Mountain Man by Kate Gilead

Zoey: After years of abuse at my crazy Aunt’s hands, I finally work up the courage to flee when the opportunity presents itself. My Mother’s legacy awaits me, across the border and the continent: Safety, tucked away in the peaks and valleys of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.

Rock: When my Dad picks up a hitchhiker in town whose destination is our neighbor’s long-empty property, at first, I want nothing to do with it. Why should I, when I already have so much to attend to at home? But Dad convinces me to go check out the situation, just to make sure everything’s cool. And when I do, I find out that Fate can move a proverbial mountain to soften a stubborn man’s stony heart.
