Synopsis

Psychiatrist Haleigh Hugo thinks he's found the perfect setting for his experimental treatment plan -- an isolated home in the middle of a small lake in the high Sierras. Dr. Hugo's office mate and life partner, Guy Sanford, is unconvinced that the benefits of the treatment plan outweigh the risks, but soon gives in to the charm and boundless enthusiasm of his lover.


Dr. Hugo's subjects are six female patients who have failed to make what he considers significant progress in one-to-one therapy. They all share something in common: grief over the loss of a loved one, a psychological barrier that prevents them from moving on. Hilary Colbert lost her life partner to a serious illness; Jennie Travers no longer trusts her unfaithful husband; Meeda O'Connell's infant son died in his crib; Vera Field wakes from a coma to learn her father has committed a senseless crime: Sarah/April Preston no longer knows who she is and suffers from a loss of identity; and Emily West has psychic abilities yet longs for a normal human existence.


The six patients, overseen by Dr. Hugo and Dr. Sanford, descend on Devonshire, a simple mountain home on the lake for a weekend of intense therapy. Yet within the walls of the home lies a terrible and painful secret that haunts anyone who comes near.

    Mia Voss walked away from a promising competitive climbing career to chase something deeper in the silence of stone and sky. Free soloing brings her the peace she craves despite the danger, the judgment, and the loneliness of summits that seem to scrape the edge of heaven. 
     
    Alex Kerrigan, a seasoned search and rescue ranger, doesn’t have time for thrill-seekers—especially not ones who climb without ropes. But something about Mia gets under her skin. She's uninhibited, magnetic, and maybe more fractured than she’s letting on. 
     
    When a stunt turns into a disaster, their lives and hearts collide on the face of Longs Peak. What begins as a rescue becomes a breaking point—for survival, for truth, and for the rare stillness of being known. 
     
    Everything That Falls is an exhilarating novel of emotional grit, breathtaking risk, and an intimate romance set against the unforgiving beauty of the wild.

    Lina Ragelis prides herself on her bravery and strength, two traits that have served her well in her career in the US Army. Having been disconnected from her family since she turned eighteen, Lina has learned to rely solely on herself—and her slightly overbearing best friend—and she swears she prefers it that way. 
     
     
     
    It's an easy lie for someone who has spent her entire life dodging love. Lina's pretty certain that she's damaged goods. But the truth is, she's the kind of person everyone wants in their corner, and the kind of woman many women want to love. 
     
     
     
    Having had more than her fair share of challenges and hardships, there isn't much that scares Lina. Life would be so much easier if she were afraid of something basic—like spiders—instead of something significant. Something like real, true, healthy love.
