Adirondack mountain men
Paul Starkweather built his life with calloused hands and backbreaking determination.
The mountain is his legacy, his proof that hard men survive.
But time is catching up with him. His body aches in ways it never used to. The land is harder to work and it takes him longer to do the necessary tasks he once did easily. And the three sons he raised to be strong, loyal, and fearless are no longer boys who follow orders.
Ian, the oldest, dreams of the U.S. Air Force and a life of travel and adventure.
Caleb, quiet and defiant, wants to trade chainsaws for ink and open a tattoo shop of his own.
And Toren, a loose cannon with no off switch, parties too hard, drives too fast, and is one reckless choice away from trouble. Paul knows it’s only a matter of time before trouble finds him.
Paul wanted to leave them something solid. Instead, he may lose them all.
When outside pressures threaten the land and long-buried fears rise to the surface, the Starkweather men are forced to confront the truth: love doesn’t always mean holding on. Sometimes it means letting go.
Before the romances.
Before the women who will claim their hearts.
Before the mountain changes everything.
This is where the Starkweather legacy begins.
