Lost Hiker: A Story from the Men of Creekside Lodge Series

Brent came to Creekside Lodge to unplug, unwind, and maybe find himself. He didn't expect to get lost in the woods-let alone be found by a forest ranger who sees past his polished surface.

Zak doesn't mind being alone. Life in the mountains suits him just fine: three days on, four days off, and no one to answer to. But when he crosses paths with a shirtless city hiker who's clearly off course, something shifts. Brent isn't just out of place-he might be exactly what Zak didn't know he needed.

What begins with a shared meal and firelight becomes something deeper as the men navigate attraction, trust, and the possibility of more. But when the weekend ends and real life calls, will their connection survive the return to the noise of the world?

Lost Hiker is a steamy, emotionally grounded gay romance about slowing down, opening up, and following the trail-even when it leads somewhere unexpected.

Fans of slow-burn heat, authentic connection, and second-chance living will fall hard for this tender, standalone entry in The Men of Creekside Lodge series.
