Slade Rivers didn’t come to Timber Ridge looking for anything.
Eight years as a firefighter in Billings and none of it ever stuck. He followed a friend’s offhand mention of a small Montana mountain town, put in his notice, and started over. Six months later he’s got a station he likes, a cabin on the north ridge, and a custom motorcycle he built from salvage. It’s enough.
Then a woman he’s never seen before crouches beside his bike on the main street like she has all the time in the world and looks up at him.
He gives her a ten-minute ride. She holds on.
He finds out two days later that she’s his crewmate’s little sister.
Callie Hayes has spent her whole life being someone’s little sister. She came home from college ready to be a person in her own right, and she’s not about to let two men have a conversation that decides it for her. When Slade tells her brother and then comes straight to her with the same words, no version softened, she understands something she hasn’t felt before.
He’s not asking permission. And he’s not managing her either.
A steamy, short, instalove romance set in a rugged small town Montana mountain community. Drawn to the Mountain Man features a tattooed firefighter who rides, a curvy heroine coming into her own, a protective older brother who eventually gets out of the way, and a guarantee that these two find their way home to each other. Part of the Timber Ridge Fire & Rescue series.
