Wildwood Valley Firehouse Series by Lilah Hart

Trapped by winter. Claimed by a mountain firefighter.I noticed Mason the moment he walked into the roadhouse.Hard not to. He was built like the mountains surrounding Wildwood Valley—broad shoulders, powerful arms, hands that looked like they could either break you in half or hold you like you mattered. One of the new firefighters in town. The kind of man every woman noticed.Except he didn’t notice me.Or so I thought.For weeks, Mason came in with his crew... moreTrapped by winter. Claimed by a mountain firefighter.I noticed Mason the moment he walked into the roadhouse.Hard not to. He was built like the mountains surrounding Wildwood Valley—broad shoulders, powerful arms, hands that looked like they could either break you in half or hold you like you mattered. One of the new firefighters in town. The kind of man every woman noticed.Except he didn’t notice me.Or so I thought.For weeks, Mason came in with his crew. He talked to everyone—the bartender, the cook, the manager. Everyone except me. When I refilled his sweet tea, he couldn’t meet my eyes. When I asked for his order, he answered in single words, like speaking to me was harder than running into a burning building.I told myself it didn’t matter. I was just the server. The small-town girl nobody really saw.Then the snowstorm hit.The roads closed. My car couldn’t make it up the mountain. And suddenly I was stranded in a ditch—in the cab of Mason’s truck—with nowhere to go and no way out.That’s when everything changed.That’s when the quiet firefighter finally told me the truth. He hadn’t been avoiding me because he wasn’t interested.He’d been avoiding me because he was terrified of how much he wanted me.We had one hour before his crew reached us. One hour to decide if this was real—or just the storm talking. One hour that could change everything.Sometimes the best things happen when you’re trapped in the cold… with the one man who can keep you warm.🔥 Firefighter Romance🏔️ Mountain Man Alpha Hero❄️ Snowstorm Forced Proximity🛻 Stranded Together💪 Protective Age-Gap Hero😳 Shy Alpha, Hidden Desire🌸 Virgin Heroine / First Time⚡ Fast-Burn Instalove❤️ Small-Town Romance🌡️ High-Heat OTT NovellaMountain Man's Winter Beauty is an OTT age-gap romance featuring an alpha hero and V-card heroine.

Snowed in. Guarded heart. One firefighter who stays.I’d spent years building walls.As the manager of Wildwood Ridge Roadhouse, I was the woman with the clipboard and the answers—the one who handled every crisis, solved every problem, and never let anyone see me crack.

And when I asked his name, he gave me one word.Wolfe.He told me he was staying. Protocol, he said. He couldn't leave me alone with no heat and no way out. But the way he looked at me had nothing to do with protocol.I didn't know he'd been watching me for weeks.I didn't know he'd memorized my schedule at the roadhouse, that he'd stared at his menu every time I came to take his order because he couldn't trust himself to look at me.I didn't know that when my name came through on that emergency call, his heart stopped.But I was about to find out.🔥 Forced Proximity❄️ Snowed In Romance🐻 Grumpy Hero / Sunshine Heroine👀 Secret Pining🌸 Virgin Heroine💘 Instalove😍 He Falls FirstMountain Man's Winter Treasure is an OTT age-gap romance featuring an alpha hero and V-card heroine.

Elsa needed help.And somehow, I ended up on stage with a microphone in my shaking hand.When I opened my eyes, Knox was watching me.Not glancing. Not distracted.
