She never expected to fall for a gentle giant lumberjack. 🔥🔥��🔥

Julie:

I didn’t plan on starting over like this. But here I am, new to town, working at a diner where everyone knows each other except me.

And then there’s Gage Harlow. A brawny lumberjack from the local logging camp who looks like he could break a man in half without even trying.

I keep my distance.

Until one day, he catches me walking home on foot. That’s when everything changes. Because when I need someone to lean on, I find out this gentle giant is as solid as the mountain itself.

Gage:

Julie Crawford is the gorgeous new waitress at the Hungry Rooster. She’s in over her head. Anyone can see it.

I should keep my distance. That’s how I’ve always handled things.

But I don’t. Because Julie awakens something inside me that I thought died long ago.

When I see her walking home late at night after a shift, my foot hits the brake.
Next thing I know, I’m stepping into her life.
And once I step in…
I
don’t step back. ❤️
