First week on the job and I have to bring the grumpy recluse mountain man owner of this lodge some bad news. There was a fire in the break room. And I started it. Mr. Wallis is going to kill me. I have to tell him in person (because of course the bearded recluse has no phone). So, I head to his cabin deep in the mountain wilderness to find him chopping wood shirtless and drinking whiskey straight from the bottle. They definitely don’t have men like him where I’m from. If they did, I never would have left. Mr. Wallis takes one look at me and my blushing cheeks and says he’s going to punish me his way. We’re far enough from civilization that no one can hear me scream. Or moan… Or beg for more… Lauren is about to find out how a hot possessive mountain man hands out a punishment. Lucky her! Age-gap insta-love at its finest in a SAFE read with no cheating and a super sweet HEA guaranteed. Double V-cards. Enjoy!
