Overview

Alyssa Callen was fearless on the slopes-fast, focused, and moments away from qualifying for the biggest race of her life. But one violent crash on Heavenly Mountain shatters everything she once believed about strength, independence, and the future she thought she had. Waking in a trauma bay with a high cervical spinal cord injury, Alyssa can no longer move her legs... and her arms barely answer her at all. A halo brace encircles her, her body is weak and foreign, and every breath reminds her of the life she just lost. With no family, no plan, and no sense of what tomorrow looks like, she is left facing the impossible: rebuilding a life that looks nothing like the one she trained for. Tessa Monroe-Alyssa's coworker, rival, and the last person she expected-refuses to let her face it alone. But Tessa carries her own crushing guilt, a secret tied to the crash, and a growing connection she never saw coming. As detectives close in on the truth and the resort reels from scandal, Tessa becomes Alyssa's lifeline through surgeries, nerve-transfer recovery, rehab, grief, and the terrifying uncertainty of life after spinal cord injury. As Alyssa starts to heal, she discovers a different kind of strength-the strength to be vulnerable, to accept help, to feel again. And in the quiet moments between disaster and recovery-warm water lifts in the hot tub, the spark of sensation in a single foot, the way Tessa holds her like she's still whole-something deeper begins to grow. When Alyssa returns to Tahoe in a track chair, teaching children their first ""pizza slice"" turns into a new purpose. When Tessa lifts her into the mountain hot tub under a sunset sky, it becomes a turning point neither of them can deny. And when Caleb, the man who tampered with Alyssa's bindings, is sentenced for his crime, the last pieces of the past finally fall away. This is not just a story about surviving trauma. It is a story about finding love after devastation, building a future after spinal cord injury, and discovering that some mountains are climbed with the heart, not the legs. Perfect for readers of emotional romance, medical drama, women's fiction, trauma and recovery stories, and disability-centered love stories, The Mountain We Survived delivers heart-stopping tension, tender intimacy, unforgettable characters, and a love story born from the deepest kind of resilience. A story of survival. A story of healing. A story of love rebuilt from the snow.
