Protected by the Mountain Man: A Mountain Man Curvy Girl Instalove Romance (Lone Mountain Mates #4)

She signed up for a mountain man. She didn’t expect to match with the one man she’s spent her whole life trying not to want.

Tori Cross
I’m tired of being the good girl. Tired of spending my Friday nights with ice cream and reruns while the whole damn town pairs off. So, I do something impulsive. I sign up for a dating app that promises to match curvy girls like me with rugged, real-deal mountain men.

What did I get? My brother’s best friend—Jace Redding—banging on my door like I just set off a nuclear bomb.
He’s furious. Protective. Insanely hot. And absolutely off-limits.

But when he shows up again—this time during my date, fists clenched and jealousy simmering—he doesn’t look like a friend. He looks like a man ready to claim what he’s been denying himself for years.

I’ve wanted Jace since I knew what wanting meant. But I’m not a girl anymore, and I won’t let him keep me in the do not touch zone forever.

If he wants me… he’s going to have to fight for me.

Jace Redding
I’ve survived war zones, cyber attacks, and living on a mountain with nothing but trees for company. But nothing prepared me for Victoria Cross signing up for a damn dating app.

Tori isn’t just my best friend’s little sister. She’s the woman I’ve spent ten years trying not to touch. I’ve watched over her. Protected her. And kept my distance—until now.

Seeing her profile, seeing her ready to give herself to someone who isn’t me? That tore down every wall I’ve ever built. Now, I’m done hiding.

I don’t care if her brother hits me over the head with a tire iron and then feds me to a bear. I don’t care if the whole town talks.
Tori is mine. Always has been. And it’s about damn time she knew it.

Protected by the Mountain Man is a possessive, steamy, age-gap brother’s-best-friend, dating-app-gone-wrong romance featuring a curvy heroine with a soft heart, a scarred ex-soldier with a overly possessive okay, jealous, streak, and the kind of mountain heat makes the 4th of July seem down right balmy. Each book in the Lone Mountain Mates series is a standalone instalove romance with a swoony HEA.
