From Army Ranger to mountain protector. His toughest mission is her heart.? ? ? ?

Gwen

When I move to Red Oak Mountain, I plan to stay with my best friend and her husband long enough to get on my feet.
But when her husband invites an ex-military mountain man to move in, sparks start flying.
He's grumpy.
He's gruff.
And after one steamy night together, he might just be mine. ??

Knox

Leaving the Army Rangers is tough.
What am I now that I'm no longer a hero?
I move to Red Oak Mountain to figure out what I'm doing with my life.
But my new housemate is a serious distraction.
Gwen's a sweet, curvy thing, and she shouldn't get caught up with a man like me.
That doesn't stop me from following her to her bedroom one night when we have the house to ourselves.
Now I'm wondering, does she think it was a onetime mistake or the start of something more?
