Synopsis

She’s starting her life over. He’s better with code than with people. And a quiet weekend in the wilderness is about to test them both.

Jessica Blake is done being the girl she used to be. Fresh out of cosmetology school and grateful for a hard-won spot at a cutthroat salon, she’s building a new life one careful choice at a time, even when her old crowd keeps tugging her back toward the person she’s trying to leave behind. The one bright spot she didn’t plan on is Austin, the steady, logical software engineer her friends pulled into the group.

Austin can debug anything except a conversation. He’s brilliant with systems and hopeless with people, and new in town on top of it. Jessica makes him want to solve the one problem his skills never covered: how to tell a woman she’s become the best part of his day. They keep calling themselves friends. Neither of them quite believes it anymore.

A singles’ camping trip looks like the perfect low-stakes way to find out what they really are. Then they stumble onto someone who desperately needs help, and the easy weekend becomes a fight for survival miles from anywhere. Out in the backcountry, stripped of every comfortable excuse, Jessica and Austin find out exactly who they are when everything goes wrong, and exactly how much they’re willing to risk for each other.

Sometimes you discover what you’re made of right when you’re in over your head. And sometimes that’s precisely where God is waiting to meet you.

Tropes:

friends to lovers
opposites attract
forced proximity
a fresh-start heroine
a shy tech hero
danger in the wild
and faith that meets you where you are.
Over Her Head is sweet, clean Christian romantic suspense set in Southern California, and Book 7 of the Where Danger Finds You series. If you love Lynette Eason, Dee Henderson, or Susan May Warren, you’ll feel right at home.
