In A Mountain's Secret, the first book of the Wild Love series by neurodivergent author Maurice Kimball, readers are swept into a story of love, mystery, and survival set in the stunning wilderness of British Columbia.
The story follows Matthias, a 22-year-old who leaves behind his life in Bowling Green, Kentucky, for a fresh start in the mountains of British Columbia. After earning a modest fortune from 3D modeling an NFT series, he returns to Lindeman Lake, a place he's longed to revisit since childhood. Matthias seeks peace and a chance to heal, both physically and emotionally, while facing the challenges of Sensory Processing Disorder and a learning disability.
What begins as a serene hike soon turns deadly when a mountain lion attacks Matthias in the dead of night. Gravely injured and on the verge of death, he is saved by a mysterious creature with glowing blue eyes. When Matthias wakes up in the hospital, he learns that his rescuer is Madeliene Marcella, a woman with a deep connection to the wild and a gift for healing animals.
As Matthias recovers, he and Madeliene form an undeniable bond, drawn together by their shared love of nature and a growing connection that neither of them expected. Together, they uncover secrets hidden in the wilderness, blurring the lines between the natural and supernatural as they explore the depths of their connection and the mysteries that surround them.
With rich characters, vivid descriptions, and an enthralling plot, A Mountain's Secret is a captivating adventure that celebrates resilience, love, and the untamed beauty of the wild. It's a story about overcoming personal obstacles and finding strength in unexpected places, setting the stage for the next chapter in the Wild Love series.
