Auctioned to the Mountain Man
Julia Stone
I signed up for the charity auction to help restore the town’s old movie theater—not to get bought by a man twice my age with sawdust in his beard and a stare that pins me in place.
Silas is older. Broodier. Built like a lumberjack with calloused hands and a voice that rumbles low and slow.
I was hoping for a relaxing weekend at a lakeside cabin. Instead, I’m stuck hauling wood and tools while he grunts instructions and acts like he didn’t just outbid a crowd of younger guys to claim me.
This was supposed to be simple. It’s not.
Because now I can’t stop wondering what those hands would feel like on my skin.
I’m only at the auction to donate furniture. But then she walks on stage—young, soft, smiling like she has no idea how dangerous that look is to a man like me.
I’m in my forties. She’s barely pushing twenty-five. I should walk away. Instead, I lift my paddle and buy myself a problem I can’t stop wanting.
One weekend. That’s all I have with her.
She thinks she’s here to help me work.
She has no idea I’m already planning how to keep her.
