Tropes: Mountain Man, Age gap, Employee/Boss, work place, Curvy Girl, Small Town, Forced Proximity, Steamy / Spicy. Snowed in with my grumpy boss was not part of the job description. First day. New job. And I'm already stranded at the brewery with Hank — the owner, the brewmaster, and the gruffest man I've ever met. He barely speaks. He definitely doesn't smile. And he looks at me like I'm an interruption he doesn't have time for. But when the storm traps us together, I start to notice things... moreTropes: Mountain Man, Age gap, Employee/Boss, work place, Curvy Girl, Small Town, Forced Proximity, Steamy / Spicy. Snowed in with my grumpy boss was not part of the job description. First day. New job. And I'm already stranded at the brewery with Hank — the owner, the brewmaster, and the gruffest man I've ever met. He barely speaks. He definitely doesn't smile. And he looks at me like I'm an interruption he doesn't have time for. But when the storm traps us together, I start to notice things. The way his hands move when he works. The rough edge to his voice when he says my name. The heat in his eyes when he thinks I'm not looking. He's fifteen years older than me. He's my boss. This is a terrible idea. Then he kisses me like he's been starving for it — and I stop caring about terrible ideas. Mountain Man On Tap is a steamy, snowed-in, boss/employee romance with an age gap, a grumpy mountain man, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Welcome to Smoky Pines! less

When Bree's rental floods, she ends up living on the property of Silas — a quiet, brooding hop farmer who's been grieving his late wife for three years.

Silas doesn't do small talk... moreTropes: Age gap, grumpy/sunshine, curvy girl, single dad widower, forced proximity, spicy / steamy. She needed a place to stay. He had a guesthouse. What could go wrong? When Bree's rental floods, she ends up living on the property of Silas — a quiet, brooding hop farmer who's been grieving his late wife for three years. He's forty-five, built like the land he works, and completely off-limits. He's also a single dad to the sweetest five-year-old she's ever met. Silas doesn't do small talk. Doesn't do feelings. And he definitely doesn't do falling for the curvy young bartender living thirty feet from his front door. But Bree's warmth is impossible to ignore, and when a fire destroys his barn and threatens everything he's built — the last piece of his wife he has left — she's the one who fights for it. For him. He hasn't wanted anyone in years. Now he can't stop wanting her. She's never been anyone's first choice. He's about to change that. Dry Hopped is a steamy, instalove romance featuring a grumpy widower, a sunshine heroine with a sharp mouth and a soft heart, forced proximity, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Book 2 in the Smoky Pines Brewery series but it can be read as a standalone. less
