The Beast of the Mountain
2024
She’s a writer looking to spark her creativity. He’s a mountain man who sparks something else… I left the comfort of my big city apartment for a secluded cabin in the woods. No internet. No cell service. No way I could miss my looming deadline, right? Wrong. My car broke down on the way up the mountain, so I never made it to the cabin. As it turns out, there never was a cabin. According to the big, burly mountain man who rescued me—I was scammed. That address? His. The pictures? Made up. Any chance of making my deadline? Kiss that goodbye. Until my ruggedly handsome savior offers me his cabin. I’ve written enough thrillers to realize how this one ends. Not good. But I don’t have a choice: Fend for myself in the wilderness with bears or... Try my luck with Bear. He’s looking at me like he’s as hungry as one. As big, burly, and growly as one too. But when he touches me, I decide my deadline isn’t the only thing I’ll be kissing… I knew there were bears in the mountain, but I never thought I’d fall for one. The Beast of the Mountain is a short and steamy age gap novella featuring a big, bearded, bear of a mountain man and the creative spark he’s always longed for… This is a 15,000-word novella that can be downloaded by joining my mailing list (link in profile).

He better watch out: Christmas cheer is contagious and I’m spreading it all over our shared cabin. But he’s not the only one: There’s only one bed. And that mistletoe I packed is now hanging over my head…

I haven’t seen Wyatt Hartwell in nearly a decade, but it takes me a split second to recognize him. Can’t say the same for him. He has no clue he just rescued his best friend’s little sister from a drunken idiot. It would hurt if it didn’t feel so good to have all of Wyatt’s attention on me. Finally. His intense gaze makes me feel wanted. His gruff voice and commanding presence make me melt. And his touch makes me swoon. Literally. I pass out and he calls a doctor. It’s a whole thing. I swear it’s because I haven’t eaten all day. Nothing to worry about. But Wyatt isn’t buying it. He invites me to his farmhouse for a home-cooked meal, but we never make it to his kitchen. We barely make it to the front door before... Ahem. I was supposed to leave before his son came back. Oops. His son corners me in the kitchen, and one mini interrogation later, I’m his new nanny and Wyatt finds out my little secret. But he doesn’t care that I’m his best friend’s little sister. He’s obsessed. He wants… me. No matter the cost.
