He's reckless. Loud. Absolutely infuriating. And he will not stop looking at me. I came to Wylde Mountain for the timber. The land. The trees. The work. I did not come here for Koda Owen. Wild. Intense. The kind of man who does everything at full speed and apologizes for nothing. He's competitive about everything. He's loud about everything. He looks at me like I'm a challenge he's already decided to win. I don't do challenges. I do my job. I hold my ground. I don't bend for anyone, especially not a man with tattoos on his forearms and a grin that says he knows exactly what he's doing. But Koda doesn't stop. He doesn't back off. Doesn't give up. Doesn't take "no" as an answer when the question is whether we're going to keep pretending we don't want to tear each other apart. And when we finally stop fighting it? When all that intensity turns from friction to fire? It burns. Everything burns. And I don't want to put it out. 🪓 Tropes 🪓 🪵 Wild Intense Lumberjack Hero 💪 Grounded Stubborn Heroine ⚡ Enemies to Lovers (Light) 💥 Competitive Tension / Who Breaks First 🏠 Forced Proximity 🏔️ Small Town Mountain Romance 🖤 He Won't Back Down ❤️ Banter That Turns to Heat 💞 Guaranteed Steamy Short Read HEA Perfect for readers who love stubborn heroes, heroines who give as good as they get, and the moment the fighting finally turns into something else.
