She was only supposed to water the flowers.
She didn't expect to be claimed by the man next door.

Freya

I'm just helping out my neighbors while they're away.
That's it. Simple. Harmless.

Until I meet their daughter's uncle.

Colt is massive. Silent. Intense.
The kind of man who doesn't flirt -- he claims.

I've sworn off men after a humiliating breakup.
Especially dangerous, older ones who live by their own rules.

But every look from him pulls me closer.
Every touch makes it harder to remember why I should walk away.

Colt

I came down from the mountains to watch my niece.
I didn't expect the curvy woman next door to turn my world upside down.

Freya doesn't belong to this town -- or to her past.
She belongs with me.

When her ex shows up drunk, angry, and out of control,
I make one thing clear:

She's under my protection now.

And once I decide something is mine...
I don't let it go.

A short, sweet-and-steamy mountain instalove romance featuring a curvy heroine, a possessive older alpha, zero cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
