Bristol Emerson has built her life on control. As a wilderness guide, she knows how to read a river, navigate a storm, and survive in unforgiving terrain. What she doesn’t know how to navigate is an unexpected pregnancy.

Forced off the water and out of the business she fought to build, Bristol makes the one choice she swore she never would: she puts her sister, Harper Clark, in charge.

Harper has always been the reckless one. The sister who drinks too much, loves too freely, and walks away when things get hard. Newly sober and desperate to prove she can be trusted, Harper sees this as her ultimate chance at redemption.

Then, deep in the backcountry on a remote guiding trip, Bristol begins to bleed.

With no easy way out and clients depending on her, Harper must call in a medevac and lead everyone through the wilderness alone. She must remain steady, capable, and sober when it matters most.

In the wild, survival is never guaranteed. But sometimes the greatest risk isn’t the river or the storm, it’s trusting the person who has failed you before.

A gripping novel of redemption, resilience, and the unbreakable bond between sisters.
