Burly, grumpy mountain meets sunshine damsel-in-distress for a holiday shot at love. Anders: Maisie runs into my life in need of saving, literally. Like little red riding hood, she dons a red coat and is running from wolves. Life has a funny way of playing jokes on people. Just when I thought I’d spent the rest of my days mourning the loss of my parents, Maisie brings color back into my life. With Christmas right around the corner, maybe it’s time to stop living in my grief and give in to the magic of the season. Claimed By The Mountain Man is a standalone short romance featuring a grumpy hero and sunshine-y heroine with more than its fair share of Christmas, slow burn romance. Transport yourself to Copper Cross, a small town nestled in the heart of the Black Pine Woods. Full of rugged mountain men, bears, and plenty of logs to chop, The Men of Black Pine Woods are on the prowl for romance. Happily ever after guaranteed! ♥ Formerly titled Grump. New look, same great taste. ;)
