Last Date With a Mountain

Jo became a park ranger because she has always felt bound to the Appalachian mountains, so when an unavoidable asteroid heads for Earth, she spends her last hours hiking to her favorite place: the top of Mount Mitchell.

What she does not know is that Mitchell wants her just as fiercely in return.

For eons he lay silent on the planet, until Jo's first step on his slopes woke a consciousness that now lives only for her.

Each hour they share pulls him closer to true life, to feeling, and to the woman who fills every thought.

Time is nearly gone, and a newly awakened mountain is determined to have her before the world ends.
