The Doctor and The Mountain Man

My high school sweetheart is now a rugged mountain man running a tree farm.

He needs me to play his fake fiancée to keep our families happy this Christmas.

One look at those broad shoulders, and I’m ready to say "I do" for real.

I’m the doctor who ran away to the city to heal everyone but myself.

Ethan is the stoic protector of these pines with eyes that still burn through my scrubs.

Coming home for a medical emergency was supposed to be a temporary stop.

But faking a romance with the man who broke my heart is the most dangerous move I've ever made.

When we’re trapped in his barn, his calloused hands find my waist and my logic vanishes.

He claims he only needs me for the holiday, but his kisses say he's playing for keeps.

My prestigious career is in the city, but my heart is buried under his Christmas trees.

Will I leave him behind in the snow again, or is this our final second chance?

This is a steamy, high-heat second-chance Christmas novella you can devour in under two hours—perfect for a late-night binge when you crave fake dating, small-town vibes, and a rugged tree-farm owner.

No cheating or filler drama, just an obsessive “she’s mine” stoic, a steamy barn encounter, and a second chance that turns a fake holiday into forever.
