Bucked

The night I meet Stella, everything changes. Somehow in the course of an evening, this sexy city girl not only gets my mountain man c*ck, but she captures my heart. I have to have her. But the next day, it all comes to a crashing halt. Literally. My life isn’t just mine anymore - now I have my brother’s babies to think about. Our lives were already going in different directions...I have to show her this mountain is the place she belongs. 

It's Grace's turn to find her happily ever after...but she's fallen for the reclusive mountain man named Bear! When a shocking package arrives at the doorstep of her cottage, she knows her world has just turned upside down - times two!

A mountain brings us together, but our past is determined to keep us apart. She may have been with another man, but she belongs with me. She was my first, and she’s going to be my last. Cherish is my one true love, and I’m fighting for what’s mine.

When my cousin Jax bails me out after a bar fight, I head to his middle-of-nowhere cabin. I don't mind - I was made to be a mountain man. I’m not the only person staying at Jax’s place. His wife’s cousin, Honor, is here too. Suddenly this mountain is looking a hell of a lot better. When Honor tells me her life is complicated it’s the understatement of the century. Besides having a tender heart and the face of an angel, she’s a sister-wife, on the run from her ex, desperate to give her children a better life.

I pull into the diner of this small mountain town, knowing there’s only two things I want: To put down roots and find someone to build a life with. And when I slide into the booth, the woman who pours me a cup of joe is sweet as sugar and warm as apple pie. She serves me up a “Josie Special” and I know she’s made to order - the only woman for me. My past is dark, too dark for a ray of light like her. But she cracks open the clouds and lets the sunshine in...she sees me as the man I can become. Her father wants me gone. He thinks he knows all about me.

I came to this mountain to move on. I’ve been through enough, and so have my six kids. They deserve a Christmas with new memories. When I find a rental house that’s big enough for my brood, that comes with a live-in cook, it feels too good to be true. It’s an undertaking, but the owner Virginia doesn’t flinch. She’s a beautiful woman who has seen hard times. With a gentle ease about her and a depth I long to reach - I know I’ve found more than my equal. I’ve found my Christmas miracle.

The moment I saw her I knew. Knew that we would have a future, a family, a forever. Her father says she's too young, too naive, too innocent. But she is more than he knows. She's the love of my goddamn life. Then she's gone in the blink of an eye. But this mountain was made for miracles, and I'm fighting for ours. I have faith in the impossible. Faith in us. 

We met in a trapped elevator. Emmett was on his way to work, sophisticated and handsome in his tailored suit and tie. I was on my way to the sperm bank. Awkward, right? At 35, my life hadn't taken the path I thought it would and I was tired of waiting - I wanted a baby. And I was ready to take matters into my own hands to make it happen. After our ill-fated elevator encounter, Emmett insisted on taking me to dinner - he also insisted on something else - that I ditch my plan involving a turkey baster and let him do the job. He would be my baby daddy.

I want a wife who knows what it means to live off the grid, cook my food, and keep my bed warm. In exchange, I'll give her a lifetime of happiness in the form of my cock. But damn, Everly's more than I bargained for, and I don't think she has any idea what it means to be mine. Hell, I wanted a wife, but I'm not sure I know how to live with a woman.

Pandora Justice took over as head of security at Osbourne Corp. after her father's retirement. Eighty-hour workweeks are normal; being brushed up against by hot consultants with ridiculous names is not. And she doesn't like it. Not even one bit. It's amazing how easily she can lie to herself. The first time Pandora sees Royce in the ring - all tattoos and sinew, covered in sweat - he looks at her like he's just won more than the fight. Like he won her.
