Tropes - Grumpy Mountain Man, Age Gap, Curvy Girl, Forced Proximity, Snowed in, City Girl,
Curvy city girl. Older grumpy mountain man. One bed in a freezing cabin. What could possibly go wrong?
Harper Lane’s career is hanging by a thread. One more failed campaign and her fancy PR job is gone for good. Her last chance? Turn a struggling mountain town into the next must-visit destination.
Evergreen Ridge has everything she needs—snowy peaks, cosy cabins, and a population of photogenic lumberjacks. But the town’s favourite recluse, cabin builder Reed Carter, wants nothing to do with her camera… or her big-city charm.
He’s gruff, growly, and twice her size. He’s also the perfect face for her campaign.
When a brutal snowstorm traps Harper at Reed’s unfinished cabin, “I’ll be back in an hour” turns into “you’re not getting off this mountain tonight”. With the road blocked, the power flickering, and only one bed to share, the thin line between dislike and desire snaps fast.
He’s too old for her. She’s too soft for him. They both know she’s supposed to leave when the snow melts.
But the more Harper falls for Evergreen Ridge—and the man who’s been hiding from it—the harder it is to sell the town without breaking her own heart.
A steamy, snowed-in, age-gap mountain man romance with a guaranteed HEA. Perfect for a 90-minute escape and can be read as a standalone in the Evergreen Ridge Mountain Men series.
