This was the love of her life, pouring his heart out, promising to the world that he was never going to let her down.
“Always,” she told him afterward, when she found him backstage and answered the question his last song asked. She never got tired of saying it, just as she never got tired of feeling him take her in his arms.
“I’ll always be here, and I’ll always be yours.”

Acknowledgments
It’s been such an incredible journey writing the Men of Gold Mountain series. After seeing Claire support her friends for three books, I was thrilled to tell her story and reunite her with the love of her life—with plenty of toe-curling fun along the way!
I’m so grateful to everyone who helped bring this book to life, especially my agent, Andrea Somberg, and my editor, Alycia Tornetta, who first said, “Maybe a musician?” and got my wheels spinning. She and Brenda Chin are a fountain of ideas and experience and I love getting to pick their brains. My thanks also to Riki Cleveland and Jessica Turner at Entangled—working with you is a pleasure, and I’m lucky to be in such good hands.
I’m lucky, too, to have so many people willing to answer my random questions when Google isn’t enough. It’s been years since I’ve been rock climbing. Thanks to Chris Clark, Susie Conwell, and Abbi Margulies for answering my questions and giving me guidance on how to get Ryan and Claire up that cliff.
Cindy Wood generously offered her time and expertise to talk to me about massage therapy and how to run a massage therapist business. Thank you for helping to heal Ryan!
Finally, my deepest thanks to Robert. I never would have dreamed up the men of Gold Mountain—let alone believed I could write it all down—without him by my side.
About the Author
Rebecca Brooks lives in New York City in an apartment filled with books. She received a PhD in English but decided it was more fun to write books than write about them. She has backpacked alone through India and Brazil, traveled by cargo boat down the Amazon River, climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, explored ice caves in Peru, trekked to the source of the Ganges, and sunbathed in Burma, but she always likes coming home to a cold beer and her hot husband in the Bronx.
