overnight hiking trip on the Pacific Crest Trail offers what she needs to clear
her head and breathe out under the stars.
Ex-military Reese Vega left

start in his hometown. His hiking tour business offers that opportunity,
especially when he can get into the great outdoors and let his past evaporate
into the mountain air.

Can they put aside their history
and use their wits to get out of this situation?
Or will it be too late?
You’ll love Beneath a
Star-Lit Sky because while the wilderness can’t be tamed, the human
heart can.
BOOK EXCERPT
It was only temporary. He’d
do his family duty and make an attempt to improve relations. And then he could
figure out what he was going to do next. And it wouldn’t be escorting tourists
through the wilderness.
Reese stepped toward the
guest who had fallen behind. The man wasn’t wearing proper hiking boots. His
tennis shoes were soaked from the slush, and he was breathing hard, his face
red. Many people had no idea how the seven-thousand-foot altitude could affect
them.
“Not too much farther. The
lookout point is just ahead. Great view of the lake. It’ll be worth it.” Reese
tried to infuse his voice with an enthusiasm he didn’t feel but Raul would
expect. Raul was so much better with people than he was.
The man glanced up, nodded,
and then went back to staring at the trail. Not enjoying the beauty around him,
missing the whole point of a hike in the woods.
Reese shrugged as the man plodded
past him. Not his problem. He rubbed his temples, hoping to ease the pain.
