They say the ex-military man on the mountain can't be trusted. He's dangerous. Unstable. A man better left alone. But when Griffin's truck breaks down and he walks into my auto shop, all I see is a gentle giant with pain behind his eyes. I tell myself I'm just being professional when I offer him my truck. Tell myself I'm just being kind when I defend him to my friends. But the truth is, I feel an undeniable pull toward Griffin-and when he leans in to kiss me, I've never wanted anything more. Now I'm risking my reputation, my friendships, and my father's legacy... ...all for a man who could be just as bad as the rumors say.

If you love misunderstood heroes, heroines who aren't afraid to speak up, and cute small-town romances with slow-burn steam, this mountain man romance was written for you.
