Once Upon a Hike
Benjamin Colton is struggling to keep his world from falling apart, trapped by the demands of his scheming stepmother and her high-maintenance twins. With his trust fund finally within reach, he must endure their chaos a little longer. The only thing keeping him going is Hyas House—his beloved childhood home and the last remaining link to his parents.

Max Huntington, dubbed “The Prince of the Wilderness” by the press, is tired of proving he’s more than a nepo baby. He worked his way up from the warehouse to the boardroom of Huntington Outfitters, determined to earn his place. But his mother refuses to hand over the reins of their billion-dollar empire until he finds the “right” partner. Sent to Seattle for a business deal he doesn’t believe in, Max expects nothing but frustration—until he meets Benjamin, the reserved stepson who seems immune to his charm. Suddenly, his trip is about more than business.

Under starry skies, sparks fly. Benjamin and Max must navigate family expectations, ambition, and an undeniable attraction. Can they rewrite their own fairy tale, or will reality tear them apart before their adventure begins?

A modern Cinderella story, Once Upon a Hike combines a sexy billionaire, found family, opposites attract with a dash of hurt/comfort, and of course the great outdoors. What’s not to love?
