Mariah is a real estate agent, in town to find a beauty salon for one of her clients. She hadn’t planned to arrive the day after a tornado, and now she’s sticking around to see how she can help. But the building she has her eye on means too much to me. I can’t see it turned into a business, even if it’s been abandoned for more than a decade. Still…neither of us can ignore this attraction. And by the time the weekend is over, we might just be ready to strike a compromise. Hoping for the Mountain Man is an OTT age gap romance featuring an alpha hero and V-card heroine.
