The Cabin Box (A Mystery Box Romance #1)

A Mystery Box High-Heat M/M Romance

Noah is a man of systems. As a high-level project manager in the grueling Seattle tech scene, his life is a masterpiece of calorie-tracked meals, precisely timed sleep cycles, and a bullet journal that dictates his every move. When his boyfriend breaks up with him on the morning of their "relationship-saving" vacation, Noah doesn’t spiral—he pivots. He’ll take the nine-day retreat alone and turn it into the ultimate "self-detox." No distractions. No feelings. Just peak performance.

Elly is the ultimate variable. Rugged, effortless, and unapologetically analog, the mountain guide is everything Noah isn’t. With a vintage aesthetic and a messy past, Elly challenges Noah to do the one thing he’s never slow down. What starts as a clash of lifestyles quickly ignites into a raw, visceral attraction that threatens to shatter Noah’s carefully constructed armor.

But the wilderness is hiding a secret.

Deep on a mountain trail, Noah discovers a mysterious wooden box etched with a familiar symbol. It has no latch and no key, yet it opens only for him—revealing the impossible.

As the nine-day clock winds down, Noah will have to stop managing his life and finally start living it—before the box seals his destiny forever.

The Cabin Box is a high-heat, single perspective, standalone M/M romance featuring a neurotic city-boy, a muscular outdoorsman with a secret, and a touch of the paranormal. Perfect for fans of the rugged isolation in God’s Own Country, with an added layer of supernatural mystery.

Grumpy/Sunshine, Forced Proximity, Tech-vs-Nature, and Twilight Zone Mystery.
