A broken-down car and one grumpy mountain man shouldn't lead to love. But sometimes the best romances start with a breakdown. My spider-decorated car breaking down at a mountain harvest festival was bad enough. Then the grumpiest, most gorgeous man alive showed up to "help." Clayton Rivers hates tourists, hates the festival, and definitely hates my Halloween decorations. Too bad my broken alternator has other plans, stranding me right in his grumpy path. One reluctant rescue leads to unexpected hayride duties, which leads to the kind of chemistry that could set the whole mountain on fire. But I'm just passing through his small town, and he's made it clear he wants nothing to do with festival chaos. So why does he keep finding excuses to be around me? When Clayton dares me to stick around for a private hayride after closing time, I should say no. I should definitely say no. But I've never backed down from a dare. Mountain Man's Hayride Honey is an OTT age-gap romance featuring an alpha hero and V-card heroine. It's a forced proximity ex-military, lumberjack romance with lots of steam that's designed to be read in only 1 hour. If you like short, steamy instalove novellas, you’ll love the entire Wildwood Valley Harvest series!
