Lifeline (Ridgeline Station)

Aidan
Ten years ago, Mika left me with a letter and dodged every chance I had to ask why. I got over it.
Mostly.
Then I take a public-relations job at a remote search-and-rescue outpost, and Jake drops Mika’s exact fucking clone right in front of me.
Except the man stares at me like we have never met.
Then the real Mika walks in, looking just as shocked to see me.
Reno. Mika’s identical twin. The brother he never told me about.
My fresh start is screwed.
I am supposed to make the team look good online. The part nobody knows is that I am also sending reports about them to people who want something on Xander. The team feeds me, puts me to work, and starts to feel like home.
Which would be great if I were not lying to every one of them. Especially Mika.

Mika
Ten years ago, I left Aidan with a letter because I was too scared to say what I needed to say. I told myself time would do the rest.
It did not.
Now he is in my outpost, bitching about the cold, making smartass comments, and doing whatever needs doing before anyone can ask twice. I want to stay mad. Hell, I am mad.
I would be better at it if I did not still want him.
Then I find out he has been sending reports about my brother and the people I call family.
When a violent storm breaks the dam and sweeps Reno into the river, Aidan ropes himself to a tree and goes after him. Saving Reno may be the easy part.
Learning to trust Aidan with my heart again is the harder rescue.

A steamy M/M second-chance search-and-rescue romance with found family, dangerous storms, broken trust, and a guaranteed HEA.
