She ran from her wedding… straight into the arms of the mountain man who won’t let her go. I’m Goldfall’s sheriff. I’ve seen it all. But I’ve never seen a woman in a wedding dress stumbling away from a wrecked car in the mountains. Cassie Matthews is shaken, scraped up, and clearly running from something. She claims she has no one… So I take her to the clinic. I offer her a room at the lodge. Instead, she begs to stay with me… in my cabin. Under my protection. I tell myself it’s temporary, just until her car is replaced and she’s ready to move on. Except the longer she’s here, the more I want her to stay. And when her ex-fiancé shows up to drag her back? He finds out Cassie isn’t alone anymore. Because she’s mine now… and I protect what’s mine. Grumpy Mountain Man Protector is a short, steamy runaway bride romance featuring an overprotective mountain man, a curvy heroine with nowhere else to go, and a small town that feels like home. Perfect for a sweet-and-spicy romance snack you can devour in one sitting, with a guaranteed HEA.
