This isn’t how it was supposed to be. My move to the small town of Bliss was supposed to be a new beginning. It was everything I’d dreamed about—the quaint downtown, a cozy little house to make my own, and miles of Vermont wilderness to explore just minutes away. I never expected my dream to turn into a nightmare. The man who seemed so nice in the beginning turned out to be anything but. So I broke it off, ignored his pleas to forgive him, and moved on with my life. Except he wasn’t going to let me go that easily. Now I’m his captive, and I learned the hard way what happens if I disobey him. But when he’s about to commit a crime against someone I know, someone I like… I have to do something, no matter the consequences. She was the last person I expected to see. I wasn’t afraid to confront the person breaking into my store. As a former Green Beret, I’d faced far more dangerous enemies. But I wasn’t expecting to find a woman left behind, unconscious and injured. And not just any woman, but one I felt a connection with from the first time I met her. It didn’t make sense. Sweet, smart, beautiful Winter robbing my store? Possibly working with an accomplice who double crossed her? Even though logic says maybe, my gut says no. When she tells me her story, I’m even more certain. Winter’s not a criminal, but an innocent woman. A woman whose captor is still out there. There’s no way I’m letting him hurt her again. Mountain Hero is the first book in the Green Mountain Guardians series. It has a protective alpha hero, a brave and sweet heroine, a team of former Special Forces, lots of twists and turns, action and danger, forced proximity, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments. Happily-ever-after guaranteed! (And expect some cameos from the Blade and Arrow Security team as well!)
