In a Flash
A Lesbian Romance Novel
If you were given a second chance with the woman of your dreams, would you be brave enough to take it?
In an effort to escape her toxic ex, Mae Mack breaks out of her daily grind and sets off on her first trip out of Maine and into the heart of Grand Canyon’s backcountry. On her first day out, she is reconnected with Ranger Kes Wylde, a woman she met at a wedding years earlier.
Reunited, Mae and Kes are forced to confront their deep feelings for each other. Will they choose vulnerability in the face of self-doubt, the fear of heartbreak, and the threat of mother nature?
In this debut novel by author Kris Rugg, get lost with Mae and Kes as they embark on a journey of self-discovery, wild adventures, deep love, and heart.
Kris Rugg
Kris has lived and worked in national parks across the country for more than a decade. They’ve rafted the lower 200 miles of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon, hiked every trail in Acadia, biked across Prince Edward Island end-to-end, eaten glacial ice while sitting in a kayak in Kenai Fjords, and helped release baby sea turtles at Cape Hatteras. More often than not Kris is somewhere in nature with a love story brewing in their mind.
Kris is queer, non-binary, disabled, and neurospicy. They are an advocate for full access to wild spaces for all people. Kris hopes their books help accurately represent the diversity of people who enjoy outdoor adventures and who find romance along the way.
