They're stranded at a ski lodge during a snowstorm. By the end of the night, their lives will be changed forever. Adulting is no fun. But that's what I'm doing, now that I've finally gotten a job. No, it's not a job that uses my degree, but at least someone hired me. On my first night, though, a snowstorm blows into town and the ski lodge where I work as a night clerk is stuck with dozens of stranded skiers. Just as I'm trying to figure it all out, a hunky mountain man shows up looking for a cup of coffee. He ends up sticking around. But being stranded in a ski lodge with the most irresistible guy I've ever met quickly becomes a problem. Getting romantically involved with him can put my job at risk. He's forbidden...but maybe it's worth it. Protective Mountain Man is an OTT age gap romance featuring an alpha hero and V-card heroine. It’s designed to be read in only 90 minutes. If you like short, steamy instalove novellas, you’ll love the entire Seduction Summit Lodge series!
