Shepherd's Watch

Tanner Shepherd knows the rugged Clancy Mountain backcountry better than anyone. As founder of Shepherd's Watch Search & Rescue, he leads a fiercely loyal team that functions less like a unit and more like family. They'd do anything for one another, a bond forged through years of high-stakes missions and small-town history.

But protecting their community means handling more than just unpredictable wilderness. Between navigating local tensions, managing overeager locals who endanger themselves on dangerous trails, and shouldering the safety of his crew, Tanner's leadership and patience are tested at every turn.

Blending deep family ties, small-town heart, and the quiet tensions of mountain life, Shepherd's Watch is a story of community, resilience, and the unspoken bonds that hold a town—and a family—together when a crisis hits the team that is bigger than anyone could have imagined.
