She’s chasing legends. He’s guarding his heart. This Christmas, they might just find both treasure and love. Gia Most people spend the holidays baking cookies or watching Christmas movies. Me? I’m hiking through the mountains with a metal detector, chasing a rumor about a lost shipment of gold from a century-old Christmas Eve train wreck. I’m not expecting to find a treasure-hunting, broody, broad-shouldered local watching me from the trees—or to end up at his cabin when a snowstorm blows in. He thinks I’m trouble. I think he’s hiding something. But the more time we spend snowed in together, the more I start to wonder if the real treasure might be the man sitting by the fire. Thatcher I came to the mountains for peace and quiet, not a beautiful stranger with a shovel and a smile that won’t quit. Gia’s determined, fearless, and far too easy to fall for. She came looking for gold—but she’s the one I’ll never let go. Treasured by the Christmas Mountain Man is a short, steamy instalove holiday romance featuring a broody recluse, a bold treasure hunter, one snowed-in cabin, and a love worth more than gold. Over-the-top possessive hero, no cheating, no cliffhanger, and a guaranteed HEA that’ll warm even the coldest winter night.
