Wren Waters used to trust that the universe would provide what she needed. Then two devastating events shatter her faith and leave her struggling to get through each day. The only activity that pulls her from bed is geocaching, using GPS coordinates to hunt for hidden treasures outdoors. She plans a solo week in Oregon, searching for caches to rebuild her sense of control. Marshall Hendricks, a psychologist dealing with his own crisis, crosses her path on the trail. Wren brushes off his friendly conversation at first. But when Marshall saves her from a dangerous encounter deeper in the wilderness, she accepts his offer to team up for safety. Their partnership begins as pure practicality. As they move from cache to cache across Oregon's landscape, their connection grows beyond convenience. Wren finds herself drawn to Marshall's intelligence and warmth, even as she questions whether she can trust her judgment about men or fate. The more she learns about this unexpected companion, the more she wants to discover. Now she faces a choice about whether to risk opening her heart again.
