Exposing Colorado: State of Us, Book 3

She's determined to destroy his reputation. He's determined to make her regret it.

Investigative journalist Sloane Mercer has spent three years building a case against Colorado's most beloved conservationist, Rhett Calloway — the charming, insufferable man whose family dynasty sits on land she believes was stolen. When her editor sends her to shadow him for a month-long profile piece, Sloane sees opportunity. Get close. Get the truth. Get out.

Rhett sees through her immediately.

What follows is a battle of wills set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Rockies — sharp words traded over campfires, stolen glances across canyon ridgelines, and a simmering tension that neither of them can outrun no matter how many miles of wilderness separate them. Rhett is everything Sloane expected: arrogant, magnetic, impossible. He's also everything she didn't — honest, wounded, and carrying secrets of his own that rewrite the story she came here to tell.

The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks losing herself entirely.

*Exposing Colorado* is a slow-burn, forced-proximity romance where the sharpest weapon between two people isn't accusation — it's the terrifying moment they realize they've been wrong about each other all along.
