Broken By The Mountain Man
(2026)(A book in the Crimson Hollow: Kane Brothers series)
A novel by Deidre-Ann Anderson
I'm Eli Kane, the quiet one. The brother who keeps his hands busy and his walls up so no one notices how tightly he's wound.
Then Fallon Reed walks into my vineyard, and every muscle in my body locks. Because I know that last name. I know those eyes. And I know her older sister is the reason I stopped believing in love seven years ago.
The Reeds think I'm the villain of that story. Fallon made that crystal clear the second she recognized me. She's too loud, too bright, and looks at me like I'm something she needs to scrape off her boots. The feeling should be mutual.
Except I notice things. The smile that doesn't reach her eyes. The flinch she hides when someone moves too fast. The way she works herself raw like standing still might let something terrible catch up.
Nobody knows what I do behind closed doors. How control isn't about power for me. It's about building a space where someone can finally feel safe enough to shatter.
She hates me for a lie her sister told. I should let her.
But when she whispers, "Show me what it feels like to let go," the quiet one in me goes silent for a whole new reason.
Broken by the Mountain Man is a scorching vineyard romance featuring an older, brooding dominant hero who heals with his hands as masterfully as he crafts wine, a fierce sunshine heroine reclaiming her body and her power, enemies to lovers tension that ignites every scene, and BDSM as the language two guarded people use to finally tell each other the truth. Perfect for readers who crave grumpy heroes undone by fearless women, age-gap chemistry that burns slow and detonates hard, and guaranteed happily-ever-afters that prove sometimes the person you can't stand is exactly the one you need.
Genre: Romance
