BLURB:
Opposites attract when a sex podcaster finds herself along for the ride with a paranormal investigative group in this “X-Files meets Twister” rom com.
Daisy Bennett desperately needs something new. When her sex & culture podcast starts losing steam, the last thing she expects is to spend the summer crammed into an RV with a crew of paranormal investigators chasing Bigfoot across the Southwest. It’s supposed to be an entertaining comeback story - follow the believers, record the chaos, and generate some new buzz.
Miles Adler has spent his life searching for answers most people laugh at. As the leader of a small field research team dedicated to unexplained phenomena, he’s used to skeptics. He’s not used to Daisy - the sharp-witted podcaster with a talent for getting under his skin and making him question whether some mysteries are worth solving. What’s worse, she actually listens to him.
As banter turns into late-night campfire conversations, and endless desert highways give way to hidden canyons and forgotten forests, the line between professional and personal begins to blur.
Beneath the jokes and the theories, both Daisy and Miles are hiding parts of themselves they'd rather keep buried. After all, it's easier to chase mysteries than risk being truly known.
But when rival investigators threaten everything Miles and his team have built, Daisy must decide what matters more: the story that could save her career… or the people who have started to feel like home.
Sometimes the scariest thing isn't what's hiding in the woods. It's being seen for who you really are.
Strange Terrain is a swoony, slow-burn romantic adventure about belief, belonging, and finding the courage to step out of the shadows.
