In Black Hollow, the mine remembers. Rowan Vale comes to the forgotten town of Black Hollow with nothing but debts and a ruined past, determined to rebuild her late uncle’s boardinghouse. Instead, she finds a place choked by fear, ruled by the shadow of an abandoned mine and the man who guards it like a ghost. Calder Holt was the last one out the day the tunnels collapsed, leaving his crew buried under rock and guilt that never let him leave. The town whispers about him, calls him The Miner, a living myth who wears his father’s cracked mask and keeps vigil over the mountain. When a ruthless corporation comes to reopen the cursed mine, Rowan stands her ground, and Calder finds himself drawn to the fierce, curvy woman who refuses to bow. But the fight to save Black Hollow will take them both underground, where old sins wait and the earth itself holds its breath. Trapped in the darkness, facing sabotage and a mountain that wants to keep them, Rowan and Calder will have to trust each other—and surrender to the heat building between them—to make it back to the light. In the deep, the mine watches. In the dark, hearts ignite. And some things, once claimed, are forever. Mine Forever is a standalone, steamy small-town gothic romance with forced proximity, a curvy hourglass heroine, a haunted hero, and open-door spice that burns as hot as the forge.
