Protected by the Possessive Mountain Man

I fell off a ladder and landed in the arms of a silver-fox mountain man.

He’s twice my age, grumpy as hell, and claims I’m his the second we touch.

I’m the curvy muralist just trying to prove I belong in this small town.

Brian is the reclusive giant who wants to be left alone in the woods.

But when a storm hits and a vandal threatens my work, he scoops me up and hauls me to his cabin.

The whispers say he’s dangerous, but his piercing green eyes tell a different story.

He looks at me like I’m the only thing that matters in the world.

He says I’ve painted myself into his life, and he isn't letting me go.

His past is coming to destroy us, but this mountain man is ready to wreck anyone who touches me.

This is a dirty, high-heat mountain man novella you can devour in under two hours—perfect for when you crave age gap, size difference, and grumpy/sunshine instalove.

No cheating or filler drama, just a protective “she’s mine” hermit, a storm-battered cabin, and a first time that turns a fall into forever.
