    About this ebook

    The Malloys are back and they're taking over the neighbourhood! Will Malloy loves his job at a park in Newfoundland, but the Rocky Mountains are calling his name. When he gets a job at a campground near Calgary, he's prepared for freedom like never before. However, his sudden feelings for a local artist and environmentalist mean his heart could get locked up tighter than he'd expected.

    Note to readers: This series, although labelled 'Christian', does contain elements that may be troubling to some readers, such as the use of alcohol as well as pre-marital sexual encounters. (The latter take place 'off camera'.) There is, however, a faith based element throughout with a strong redemptive message at the end of the series.

      - fiction on the edge without crossing the line -

      SCENE 1

      Will Malloy inhaled deeply and let the musky scent of moss mingle with the salt sea air that wafted up from the coastline below. From this vantage point atop a cliff on the western edge of the island, he could see for miles. The roughhewn landscape stretched out before him, one of the most beautiful, if not rugged, sights he’d ever laid eyes on. Undulating greenery was shocked by jagged rocks that jutted out like spikes on the back of a dinosaur, stopping abruptly at the sea where the water clawed at the shore. It was primitive, unrefined, and utterly breathtaking.

      He’d worked at the regional park for the past four seasons in a row. It was the kind of work he loved - physical, outdoors, and always changing. He liked working with his hands. The sense of honest accomplishment he got from maintaining the trails, cutting firewood, or providing security from wildlife when necessary, more than made up for the relatively low wages and the seasonal nature of the job. Heck, he’d even had to do latrine duty. The job required a varied skill set and he was ready, willing, and able.

      He was lucky to get pogey in the winters, or employment insurance as it was properly called, and he also managed to score the occasional job creating cross country ski trails and such. It left him plenty of time to pursue his own passion for snowboarding in the winter; less for BMX biking in the summer.

      It was a good life. Not too much stress and few responsibilities. Yet… Something stirred within him. A memory of the majestic Rockies whose grandeur could not be paralleled, even by the vista before him, nagged at the back of his mind. If he could get work near Banff or Jasper, he would take it in a heartbeat. The snowboarding would be unprecedented, not to mention the biking. Despite the fact that he loved this place, he was ready for an adventure and the restlessness that had first surfaced on his recent trip to visit family in Alberta had not abated.

      He knew what his mother would say. She was already reeling from the fact that five of her nine children now lived in the western province - had flown the rocky shores of their beloved Newfoundland and would not get home very often to visit. Was he willing to become the sixth?

      He’d made some inquiries when he’d been in Calgary - unknown to family on either side of the continent - and had found an ad for a general labourer at a private campground just outside the National Park limits. After some doubling back he’d sent in an application and his resume. He was determined not to get his hopes up, but with his experience and willingness to do just about anything, he just might have a shot.

      Will loved the outdoors, whether it be the ragged beauty of Newfoundland’s coast or the way the rolling prairie met the wall of mountains back in Calgary. He just wanted to get out there and experience it. All of it.

      The distinct scent of moose filled his nostrils and he snapped himself out of his reverie. Coming across a full-grown moose was no joke, even in the spring when they were less aggressive than during the fall rut. The large mammals were plentiful in Newfoundland, a hazard to vehicles and a nuisance for outdoorsmen despite the fact that they provided meat for most tables. Fortunately, a keen sense of smell probably alerted the beast to his presence far before his own olfactory sense had kicked in. Moose were naturally shy, so it was probably well on its way by now and he wouldn’t have to use his flare gun to scare it away.

      Will lumbered down the slope, sliding on some gravel along the way, to his waiting work truck - a white pick-up with the campground logo splashed across the side. He tucked the flare gun into its holster behind the seat and then swung
