Mine by Valentine’s Series by Tessa Knox

Running from heartbreak on Valentine's Day, the last thing I expected was my car to die in a mountain blizzard. Or to be rescued by him. Callum MacGregor is everything I'm not looking for—gruff, isolated, and twenty years my senior. He lives alone in a cabin he built with his own hands, deliberately cut off from the world. He doesn't want company. Doesn't want conversation. Doesn't want me. But when the storm traps us together, the walls he's built start crumbling... moreRunning from heartbreak on Valentine's Day, the last thing I expected was my car to die in a mountain blizzard. Or to be rescued by him. Callum MacGregor is everything I'm not looking for—gruff, isolated, and twenty years my senior. He lives alone in a cabin he built with his own hands, deliberately cut off from the world. He doesn't want company. Doesn't want conversation. Doesn't want me. But when the storm traps us together, the walls he's built start crumbling. And the heat between us? It has nothing to do with the fireplace. He's broken. I'm lost. We're completely wrong for each other. So why does being in his arms feel like the only place I belong? He says I should leave when the roads clear. That I deserve better than a bitter mountain hermit with a tragic past. But what if I don't want better? What if I want him? less

Running from my past, my car bursts into flames on a dark mountain road. Then he appears. Rhett Dalton—six feet of muscle, protective instinct, and raw masculinity wrapped in a firefighter's uniform. He saves me from the flames. But when he sees the bruises I've tried to hide, everything changes. He wants to protect me. I'm terrified to trust again. My ex violated a restraining order to find me. Rhett installs security cameras and refuses to let me out of his sight... moreRunning from my past, my car bursts into flames on a dark mountain road. Then he appears.

But when he sees the bruises I've tried to hide, everything changes. He wants to protect me. I'm terrified to trust again. My ex violated a restraining order to find me. Rhett installs security cameras and refuses to let me out of his sight. What starts as protection ignites into an all-consuming passion that burns hotter than any fire—his hands on my skin, his body claiming mine, showing me what real desire feels like. He says I'm his. That he doesn't do casual. That he'll prove it every night in his bed. But my past is hunting me, and danger is closing in. Can a broken woman surrender to a hero who promises forever after knowing her for two weeks? Or will fear destroy the most explosive connection either of us has ever felt? less
