Savage Mountain Protector: A Dark Grumpy Sunshine Forced Proximity Second Chance Small Town Mountain Man Romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798250900645)

He swore he'd never protect her again.
She swore she'd never need him.
Now the mountain has trapped them together... and this time, walking away isn't an option.

I came back to Blackridge to fix one mistake and leave before the gossip could swallow me whole.

I didn't expect him.

Colt Wilder, the ruthless, bearded mountain recluse with a military past and a reputation as dangerous as the cliffs he calls home.

He used to be my everything.
Now he barely tolerates the sight of me.

But when a brutal snowstorm strands us in his remote cabin, pride doesn't matter.

One road out.
Buried in snow.
One bed.
No escape.

He's grumpy. Guarded. Savage in his silence.

I'm the sunshine he doesn't want... and the only woman who's ever broken through his armor.

Colt lives by one rule: protect what's his.

And whether I like it or not, the possessive mountain man has decided I still belong to him.

But Blackridge remembers why we fell apart.
The scandal. The betrayal. The secret that nearly destroyed us.

If we give in to this relentless heat, we risk reopening old wounds that never truly healed.

If I surrender to his dangerous touch, I might lose the freedom I fought to reclaim.

If he lets himself love me again, he risks shattering what's left of his guarded heart.

Because loving a man like Colt Wilder isn't safe.

It's dark.
It's consuming.
It's fiercely protective and undeniably steamy.

But beneath the savage exterior is a broken soldier desperate for redemption... and a woman stubborn enough to fight for his healing.

Savage Mountain Protector is a dark, high-heat small town mountain man romance featuring forced proximity, second chances, a possessive alpha with a military past, and a fiercely determined heroine who refuses to be claimed without a fight.

This is Book One in the Mountain Men of Blackridge series. Each book follows a different rugged mountain man and can be read as a standalone, but the emotional intensity, and the Wilder brothers, only get wilder from here.

If you crave grumpy/sunshine tension, snowed-in heat, protective "touch her and regret it" energy, and a hard-won happily ever after, Blackridge is waiting.
