Forget playing it safe.
John Maverick Nelson likes to live his life on the edge-literally. A crucial member of the search and rescue team in the mountainous British Columbian town of North Ridge, Maverick's brash and bold attitude means he's the first one to ascend into danger, no matter the risk.
When it comes to women, though, Maverick errs on the side of caution. For all his cocky charm, rugged good looks and sexual swagger, he remains as unreachable as the surrounding peaks. Hot, wild sex? He'll tell you there's no better way to spend a cold, wintry night. Relationships? He'd rather freeze.
That is until he lays his eyes on American Riley Clarke. Trading in the crippling expenses of Aspen for BC, Riley is North Ridge's newest member of their search and rescue team and the only woman on the job, which means spending a lot of time with Mav in adrenaline-pumping situations.
With the chemistry between them hot enough to melt snow, keeping their hands off each other is detriment to the success of their team. Besides, Maverick is Riley's boss and she didn't work her ass off in Colorado just to throw it all away for some mind-blowing sex.
But when the worst winter in years sweeps in, Riley and Maverick will have to battle the elements along with their attraction for each other. And if either of them slip up, both of them will be in for a deep freeze.
Maverick is a fast-burn, boss/employee romance set against the wild and dangerous backdrop of search and rescue. The second book in the USA Today Bestselling North Ridge series, featuring the rough and rugged Nelson brothers and the fierce love that tames their wild hearts.
NOTE: This series was previously published in 2017 where each book became instant USA Today bestsellers! On August 18th 2025, the trilogy is getting new life with new covers, updated content (including an extra chapter in Wild Card), content warnings, new formatting, and is going into KU for the first time ever. You can read each book as a standalone as they revolve around a different couple and their hard-won HEAs, however if you want to read in order it goes: Wild Card, Maverick and Hot Shot.
