This book is an insta-love, happily-ever-after, STEAMY romance. No cliffhangers, no cheating. This is the fourth book (but also a standalone story), in the Hawk Valley Mountain Men series. Loch You can take the man out of the SEALs, but you can’t take the SEAL out of the man. After retiring from the Navy, I run a very lucrative, and demanding security consultant business that frequently takes me to the most dangerous parts of the world. I’ve just gotten back from a long, stressful mission overseas. I need to unwind in the remote cabin in the Hawk Valley mountains that’s been in my family for generations and shake these lingering demons off my back. Running into a beautiful, young, curvy hiker who sprained her ankle wasn’t exactly what I had in mind…but it might be just the thing to help me repair my shredded soul. Ava After the mugging I endured a few months ago, life in the city just isn’t working for me. I’m scared of every shadow, every corner, and everything that goes bump in the night. I decide to spend spring break up in the Hawk Valley mountains, refresh myself, and come back to finish my senior year with clear eyes. Maybe I can even build my photography portfolio while I’m at it. A hike along the trail seems like it’s going to go really badly when I sprain my ankle, but then this older, hardened mountain man comes to my rescue, and I think I’m about to get more on this getaway than I ever bargained for…
