Bug Out Together

When the fires come, there's nowhere to hide from the truth.

Bug Out Together is Book 2 in the Ridge Haven Preppers series-a tense, slow-burn prepper romance with wildfire skies, convoy nights, and only one sleeping bag.

Months after choosing each other on the mountain, Lauren Blake is quietly turning Ridge Haven into a home-extra mug hooks, bread in the oven, neighbors who finally trust the gate. Caleb Rourke is just as quietly expanding caches and hardening security, because depending on anyone still feels dangerous.

When regional grid failure slams into fast-moving wildfires, Caleb's worst-case convoy plan stops being theory. Overnight, Lauren is shoved into the passenger seat of a rolling bug-out: kids, neighbors, a terrified teenager from town...and a stack of route cards she's never been allowed to read. On the road, tensions burn as hot as the fireline: one shared sleeping bag in a low-profile tent, a ranger station that might be safe or a trap, a stranger begging for help they can't afford to give, and the gut-punch discovery of an old route plan where someone like Lauren was "optional."

When she benches herself-"I won't be your secret liability"-Caleb has to choose between clutching his lone-wolf plans or trusting the woman who keeps the whole convoy from cracking apart.
