In the depths of an icy mountain river, I never expected to meet the man of my dreams. All I wanted was a relaxing vacation on the river with my best friend Alice. But when a strong current rips me away from the group, capsizing my kayak in the process, I'm suddenly underwater, struggling to breathe and unable to escape. Seconds away from drowning, I'm rescued by Chase - a hot, muscular mountain man with a gruff voice and serious disposition. With a past he's trying to run away from, a body covered in scars, and deep brown eyes that hold more secrets than I can imagine, he's everything I should avoid. Yet when he carries me to his cabin and commands me to do as he says, I find myself irresistibly attracted to him - and it's clear he feels the same way. But with a search party out looking for me and a Sheriff he's trying to avoid, Chase has more issues to contend with than just romance. Will Chase be able to confront his past? And am I willing to accept a life of seclusion just to stay by his side? Mountain Man Kayak Rescue is a short, steamy, instalove romance. There’s no cheating and no cliffhanger, but there is a very happy ending. *This book was previously published under the title Mountain Man Kayak Rescue
