Welcome to Big Horn Ridge in Montana, home of burly, buff, bearded mountain men who are soon to meet their strong, curvy matches! Silvia Martinez grew up in the city, making her way through the foster-care system by smothering everyone with sweetness—just the way she'd ice her famous cupcakes. But now that she's living in small-town Montana, she's finding her way easier. If only her daring baking adventure could find success, she'd be content. Merrick Dumont loves his mountain. He likes creating rustic furniture out of the red cedar that grows on Big Horn Ridge. And he'd never go to town at all, except for the necessities: toilet paper, beer, and coffee. Not to mention the cupcakes he found at the pop-up bake shop... and the spicy-sweet girl who's selling them... Short, sweet, steamy instalove! No cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed HEA. Part of the Men of Big Horn Ridge series, but can be read as a standalone.

Welcome to Big Horn Ridge in Montana, home of burly, buff, bearded mountain men who are soon to meet their strong, curvy matches! GABI: I’ve never had anybody in my life to love me and take care of me. Except my BFFs, Cierra and Silvia. As foster kids in the big-city system, we had to look out for each other. Now we’re grown, we’re directing our own lives. We packed up and moved out west to Montana together. Cierra promptly fell in love. So did Silvia. Me, I’m on my own and I guess I always will be. When that gorgeous mountain-man park ranger asks me out, I say no. I steer clear of casual relationships. Even though he makes me feel things I'd rather not feel. Then the accident happens…and everything changes. CLINT: Okay, so up to now I’ve been something of a playboy. I used to like it that way. Then I watched my cousin, and my brother, fall in love and settle down with their once-in-a-lifetime loves, and it started to look pretty good to me. At Caleb’s wedding, I hit on the gorgeous bridesmaid, but she turns me down flat. But she's so special, I keep trying. It takes a multi-vehicle accident and a concussion to get Gabi to even give me the time of day, and now I want her to give me all her time. Short, steamy, small-town instalove romance. Mountain man reformed playboy + no-nonsense, big-city curvy girl = love big as a mountain. No cheating; no cliffhangers. Guaranteed HEA!

Welcome to Big Horn Ridge in Montana, home of burly, buff, bearded mountain men who are soon to meet their strong, curvy matches! SAGE: I don’t keep jobs or boyfriends longer than about six months. That’s by my choice. As for jobs… I’m a fixer. I take a job, get things running nicely, and then go fix another business to operate smoothly. I’m not a flake, I’m a free spirit, thanks very much. But men are not jobs. I’m not interested in fixing a man. I’ll only get serious about a relationship when the right man gets serious about me. HOLT: Just because I’m a by-the-book rule enforcer at my job as a state park ranger doesn’t mean I don’t know how to cut loose. Sure, I definitely remember catching wild-child Sage Landon skinny-dipping in the lake with her friends when she was a teenager, ten years ago... and yeah, I definitely noticed her. In fact, I've been noticing her all over town ever since. I'm tired of waiting for her. It's time to make my move, and walk on the wild side myself. With her. Short, steamy, small-town instalove romance. Law & order mountain man + sassy, button-pushing woman = love big as a mountain. No cheating; no cliffhangers. Guaranteed HEA!
