Possessed by the Mountain Man: An Enemies-to-Lovers, Only One Bed, Halloween Costume Chaos Romance (Rugged Hearts #9)

A haunted lodge.
A grumpy mountain man.
A glitter-soaked hurricane of chaos.
Let the mayhem begin…

Aspen Taylor doesn’t do boring. So when she shows up alone to a "Haunted Couples' Retreat" with a pumpkin suitcase, six wigs, and a trunk full of Halloween décor, she’s not about to let reality—or a smoking hot mountain man—tell her no.

Too bad Thorne Maddox has made "no" his entire personality.

He’s the brooding caretaker of Devil’s Peak Lodge—shirtless, scowling, and allergic to joy. She’s sunshine dipped in sarcasm with a death grip on her glitter gun. He wants solitude. She wants fog machines, cobwebs, and a sexy witch costume that is absolutely against lodge policy.

Then a storm traps them inside

One bed

No heat

Explosive chemistry hotter than hell

And a truth-or-dare game that absolutely should have been illegal

He calls her chaos. She calls him emotionally constipated.

But when ghosts from the past claw their way loose and sparks turn to wildfire, Aspen and Thorne discover something

Love is the scariest thing of all.
