Can an unexpected night of stargazing with a lovely artist heal my broken heart and mend my painful past?

High atop a San Juan Mountain peak near Ouray, Colorado, I live in an isolated cabin, kissing the sky at nearly 9,000 feet. It's a formidable spot. Frigid in the spring, cold in the summer, and downright bone-numbing during the area's brutal winters.

No place on the planet brings me closer to my first love-the nighttime sky-or further from everything I long to forget as a military veteran and wounded warrior. I spend my time naming and chasing comets, stars, and planets, leading the life of a reclusive mountain man astronomer. Until an unexpected stranger shatters the peace of my isolated existence.

A wilderness watercolorist, Luna Solace couldn't be more different than me-warm and talkative, bubbly and sunshiny, and desperate for help. My grumpy silence and morose glares don't faze her. Neither do the scars I wear on my body and soul. What scares and thrills me? A promise in her eyes, rivaling the otherworldly beauty of celestial bodies.
