Intense Mountain Man
Maya Vale
I live alone on Shadowfall Ridge, where the mountains are my only companions and solitude is my sanctuary. Then I find her—half-frozen in a snowdrift, her car wrecked on the treacherous mountain road. Something primal awakens inside me when I carry Celine back to my cabin. Her city-soft curves ignite a hunger I've kept buried for years.
As blizzards trap us together, teaching her survival becomes my obsession. Each day, I show her the wild beauty of my mountain; each night, our bodies speak a language more powerful than words. She's everything I never knew I needed—brave despite her fears, surrendering yet unafraid to claim what she desires.
I've never wanted to share my mountain kingdom with anyone. But as spring approaches and the thaw threatens to take her back to civilization, I realize I'm not willing to let her go. Up here, we've discovered a passion as untamed as the wilderness itself. Now I face the most difficult challenge of my isolated existence—convincing her that what we've found is worth fighting for, that our story has only just begun.
I never meant to end up stranded in a blizzard, my car wrecked on a remote mountain road. Terrified and freezing, I thought I was going to die—until he appeared through the swirling snow. Hawk. A mountain of a man who carries me to safety like I weigh nothing at all.
In his rustic cabin, with no electricity and miles from civilization, I discover parts of myself I never knew existed. His calloused hands and intense gaze strip away my city-girl inhibitions. For the first time, I feel beautiful in my own skin, my curves cherished rather than criticized.
As days turn to weeks, I learn to fish in half-frozen streams, to dance in thunderstorms, to embrace the wild woman within me. Each night in his arms feels more like home than the life I left behind. But spring is coming, the roads will clear, and I'll have to choose—return to the comfortable predictability of my former life, or embrace the untamed passion I've found with a man as rugged and real as the mountains themselves.
