Mounting Mountain Men

I'm a city girl. I don't do nature. It sucks. Bugs, bears, poison ivy. You name it, I hate it. So, when my niece asks me to accompany her on a camping trip, I'm horrified. But I'm a good aunt, so I say yes. Well, that was a huge mistake. One of many. When I get irrevocably lost from the group in the mountain wilderness, I think I've made a fatal mistake. Until Cyrus finds me. He's big, strong, and the toughest man these mountains have ever seen. But he goes absolutely weak when he sees me. An obsession takes over and he's not about to let me go.

It's my second day here and I haven't written one word. Can you still get writer's block if you're not a real writer? It's all a disaster until I'm wandering through the woods and see some much-needed inspiration. It comes in a big, bearded, growly package. His name is Jayden Rowe and he's a rugged mountain man who says he owns everything on this mountain. Including me. Suddenly, with Jayden's shirtless body to gawk at while he chops wood, the words start flowing and my book comes alive.

My home was burning. The mountains were on fire. Then, out of the ashes, came an angel. Kennedy. One look and I knew that I needed her. When I saw those stunning green eyes and delicious curves, I knew I would do anything to make her mine. But Kennedy isn’t here on her own. She’s surrounded by other convicts and a half-dozen armed guards. They’re part of a program using prisoners to help fight the wildfires. They’re determined to keep her in chains. I’m determined to break her free. Kennedy may be a convict, but I know she’s innocent. I can feel it.
