I’ve always lived alone. Quiet, simple, just the basics. But one look at her, and everything I thought I wanted burns to the ground. Now all I see is her—mine to protect, mine to keep. Boone I only come into town for supplies. I don’t need people. I don’t need distractions. I live on the mountain, sell lumber, and keep to myself—my secret career as a bestselling post-apocalyptic sci-fi author hidden from the world. No one knows who I really am, and I like it that way. Until I see Laney. One look, and I know—she’s mine. Laney runs a hair salon in Timber Peak Valley, completely unaware that she’s the reason I’m coming into town more often. She doesn't know it yet, but she belongs with me. On my mountain. In my world. I won’t rest until she’s in my cabin and in my bed… wearing my ring and carrying my name. Worshipped by the Reclusive Mountain Man is a short and steamy instalove romance featuring a protective mountain man who’s been hiding away from the world… until she shows up. With no cliffhanger, no cheating, a guaranteed HEA, and OTT vibes. This book is part of Lumberjacks of Timber Peak Valley, a steamy instalove romance series set in a small mountain town full of rugged, protective heroes.
