The Mountain Between Us
Surgeon Ben Payne and writer Ashley Knox charter a small plane after their commercial flight is canceled, only to crash in the Utah wilderness when the pilot dies. Injured and stranded far from the flight plan, they must depend on Ben's medical knowledge, limited supplies, and one another to cross the mountains. The struggle exposes private grief and reshapes a bond formed under impossible pressure. Harrowing and romantic, this survival novel suits readers who enjoy remote landscapes, endurance journeys, emotionally guarded characters, and stories that ask what remains after two strangers have kept each other alive.
