Unmasked by the Mountain Man

She came to Kettle Hollow to disappear. The mountain man was never supposed to make her want to be found.

Larkin Bell has spent eleven months running from the dangerously charming ex who controlled her life—and always seems to know where she’ll go next. A borrowed name, a remote Appalachian town, and a job at the local general store should keep her hidden.

Then her face appears online.

Now the man hunting her has a trail straight to Kettle Hollow.

Reclusive mask carver Silas Cade wants nothing to do with the town’s Halloween masquerade—or the relentlessly warm woman who sees beneath every wall he’s built. But when Larkin’s past closes in, Silas offers her the locked spare room in his isolated mountain cabin, a mile of warning road, and protection with no strings attached.

Forced proximity turns simmering attraction into scorching nights. The gruff mountain man who never lets anyone close is falling hard, and Larkin is beginning to believe she could stop running.

Until Halloween night.

The barn is crowded. The masks are on. And somewhere among the dancers, a predator is waiting to reclaim the woman who escaped him.

This time, Larkin has a possessive mountain man at her back, an entire small town beside her—and nowhere left to hide.

Unmasked by the Mountain Man is a high-heat Halloween mountain man romance featuring grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, a protective reclusive hero, a runaway heroine, stalker-ex suspense, cabin heat, found family, he-falls-first obsession, touch-her-and-die energy, and a hard-won HEA.
