He rescued me from the storm. Now he’s determined to keep me.

When a freak fall blizzard slams the mountains above Lush Hollow, field researcher Dr. Paige Ellis takes one bad step and finds herself in the arms of grumpy, off-grid ex–Special Forces Wells Granger. She's half-frozen and injured, bringing her to his cabin is the right thing. Wanting her is inevitable.

Snowed in means forced proximity: shared heat, careful hands, and a man who treats Paige like she’s the most precious thing he’s ever carried. She’s sunshine and brilliant data; he’s scars and steel. She’s never given her firsts to anyone. He wants to be her last everything.

But Paige’s grant is on the line, and someone is sabotaging her equipment. While the storm rages, Wells uses old skills to track a threat that’s getting too close. He can keep her warm. He can keep her safe. And when the snow clears, he plans to keep her, period.

A steamy standalone in the Lush Hollow world with age gap, caretaking, virgin heroine, small-town meddling, and a guaranteed HEA.

This Fall, watch these 20 broody mountain men give in to the one woman who should’ve been too young to want…until now in the Forbidden For Fall Mountain Man series.
