He found every flaw in the building. She was the one thing he couldn’t fix.
Wade Wilson has been walking finished buildings with a clipboard for eleven years. He doesn’t stay. He doesn’t settle. He finds what’s wrong, signs off, and moves to the next job before anyone can get comfortable with having him around. The Clearwater Lodge is the best building he’s ever worked. In fourteen days, it’ll be someone else’s problem.
Then Isla Justice walks through the door with forty-seven questions, a plan for everything, and a way of running her hand along a bar-top that makes him lose count of what he came here to fix.
She’s not here to stay either. She’s here to open a lodge, prove she belongs in the GM role, and get back to the version of her life she planned. She doesn’t need a man who’s already looking at the door. She especially doesn’t need one who checks a window seal four times because she was standing nearby when he checked it the first three.
Fourteen days. One building. Two people who are very clear on what this is.
Except Wade’s list keeps getting shorter. And every time it does, he finds a reason to add something back.
Finished by the Mountain Man is a steamy mountain man romance with a gruff, protective hero who doesn’t know how to say he’s staying and a sharp, curvy heroine who came for a job and found something she didn’t know she was looking for. Instalove, forced proximity, and a happily ever after that’s short on speeches and long on everything else.
Timber Ridge Mountain Builders, Book 6, the series finale. Can be read as a standalone.
