I came for a romantic weekend. Instead, I got dumped halfway up a mountain by a guy who couldn’t handle my curves—or my attitude. That’s when he showed up. Big, bearded, and built like a walking warning label. He didn’t ask who I was. Didn’t care why I was standing there with tears in my eyes and mud on my boots. He just punched my ex, scooped me up, and walked straight into the woods like I already belonged to him. Now I’m wrapped in his flannel, warming up by his fire, and trying to ignore the way he looks at me when he thinks I’m not watching. He barely speaks. But when he touches me, it’s like he’s trying to rewrite everything I ever believed about myself. I should be planning how to get off this mountain. Instead, I’m wondering what it would feel like to stay. Arctic Mountain Man is a high-heat, one-bed, age-gap romance featuring a silent, brooding mountain recluse and the curvy, big-hearted woman who brings him back to life. A steamy instalove story with no cliffhangers and a very satisfying HEA, part of the Cold Mountain Nights multi-author series.
