Hatch

Moving from the nonstop rush of the big city to the peaceful, minuscule tourist town of Ruidoso, New Mexico, should be easy, right? But when physician’s assistant Dante Mazza's car breaks down, leaving him stranded in the literal middle of nowhere, he finds himself in need of rescue. What he gets is more than a hundred pounds of enormous Italian mastiff, as well as the dog’s handsome owner.

Cameron Myers, forest service ranger and part of the Demon Dogs search and rescue group, is always prepared and ready to help. Together with his dog Hatch, he watches over Lincoln National Forest near Ruidoso. When he stops to help a man waylaid on the side of the road, he discovers something he isn’t prepared for.

He and Dante go together like spicy green chile on a cheeseburger; the heat between them might be enough to start a wildfire. Dante might be out of his depth in the woods, but he might just be what Cam needs in his life.
