When I trek into the wilderness near Whitetail Falls to photograph a frozen waterfall, I think I'm chasing the perfect shot. Instead, I stumble onto private land belonging to a man who emerges from the forest like something out of a dark fairy tale. Joel White is everything I should run from—a battle-hardened ex-Navy SEAL in his late thirties with steel-gray eyes and hands that have seen violence. He's towering, intimidating, and clearly doesn't appreciate finding a twenty-three-year-old photographer wandering his mountain. But when the storm hits, and he drags me to safety, terror isn't what I'm feeling. Joel warns me that he's too old, too rough, too damaged for someone like me. He's been alone in these mountains for good reasons. But what happens when an innocent woman decides she wants to be claimed by a man who doesn't know how to be gentle? Claimed by the Ex-Military Mountain Man is a short, sweet, and steamy small town instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Whitetail Mountain Men series. less
