Hunting the Silver Fox. The Bear Hunt Stories, #2

Eighteen months ago, rugged bowhunter Augie Vale accidentally shot the silver fox who would steal his heart. Now, trapped at his lover's lavish family wedding in Jackson Hole, Augie must protect Wes from a predator far more dangerous than his trigger finger, before the man he loves disappears right in front of him. Augie and Wes Harper share a quiet, happy life in the high desert of Sisters, Oregon.
They've built something real: shared coffee rituals, a Chesapeake Bay retriever who thinks she's their third roommate, and the kind of love that still makes Wes's pulse race every morning. Then Wes's estranged mother invites them to her extravagant wedding at a luxury lodge in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. To the rest of the family, Augie is just the "traveling companion." To Wes, he's the only man who has ever seen him, really seen him.
But returning to his family's glittering world forces Wes back into the role he's spent years escaping: the quiet, shrinking son who never measures up. And his mother's wealthy, charming fiancé has taken a disturbing, predatory interest in him. As old family wounds reopen and the pressure mounts, Wes starts to disappear again, right in front of Augie's eyes. Augie didn't survive a blizzard and an accidental shooting just to watch the love of his life fade away.
In the shadow of the Tetons, this protective bear will do whatever it takes to remind his silver fox exactly who he belongs to, body, heart, and soul. Steamy, emotional, and fiercely romantic, Hunting the Silver Fox is an MM romance about healing from trauma, found family, and the kind of love that refuses to let you vanish. Content note: This novel includes references to past sexual abuse of a minor, depictions of predatory behavior toward an adult survivor, and explicit consensual sex between adult men.
