Carved by the Mountain Man (Bitterroot Ridge Trail Crew) (Fall for a Mountain Man #5)

She's sunshine in a small town. He's a single dad who's forgotten how to smile.

Flower shop owner Hallie's new in Bitterroot Ridge, and divorced single dad Walker wants to keep it that way. But when his seven-year-old daughter decides Hallie needs rescuing and Walker needs a friend, autumn matchmaking ensues. One fall festival, one woodcarving contest, and one very determined little girl later, Walker's carving more than pumpkins—he's carving out space in his heart.

Single dad meets sunshine. Fall magic happens.

Walker doesn't do second chances or small talk, but Hallie's warmth melts his defenses one carved flower at a time. She's running from a breakdown she won't discuss. He's protecting a heart his ex-wife shattered. And between them, one pumpkin-obsessed little girl is orchestrating the perfect autumn love story.

Can a grumpy single dad learn to love again when sunshine arrives wearing flour-dusted aprons and wielding unstoppable optimism?
