Trapped With The Mountain Man
(2026)(A book in the Ozark Mountain Men Temptations series)
A novel by Lily Birch
Can one locked gate trap me with a mountain man who knows exactly how to warm my heart?🔥🔥🔥🔥
Leah
I came to the mountains to clear my head, not to get stranded after dark with a man who looks like he was carved straight out of the wilderness.
When I stay too late at a wilderness recreation area, I come face to face with my lack of good planning. The exit gate is locked for the night and there’s only my rental car in the parking lot… and a big beat-up pickup truck.
As dusk falls, panic sets in fast.
Then he shows up.
Jameson McCall is tall, strong, and confident. He’s the owner of the pickup truck, and no, he does not have a key to get us out of here. Even though he’s a stranger, the trail guide with broad shoulders and rough hands calms my anxious nerves.
By the time morning comes, I’m starting to wonder if getting trapped is the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
Jameson
Who knew that the dusty sign that says ‘Gate Closes At Dusk’ was meant to be taken so literally?
I’m here at the Lone Pine Wilderness Park doing volunteer trail maintenance work, like I’ve done a thousand times before.
But tonight I must have stayed too late because when I get to the parking lot I find that I’ve been locked in. And I’m not the only one.
Getting trapped inside the park overnight with a curvy tourist deep in the Ozark Mountains wasn’t on my bingo card. But now that we’re in this situation, Leah’s looking at me like I’m the answer for everything that’s wrong in her life. She’s cold, scared, and so far out of her element it should be a problem. Instead, she’s the first thing that’s felt right in a long time.
I take the curvy city diva to the historic trapper cabin for the night.
There’s no power. No running water. And no cell service. But at least we have a crackling fire and a narrow bed to share.
Soon the fireplace isn’t the only part of the cabin that’s warming up.
When morning comes, real life is waiting on the other side. And I’m a rugged mountain man who doesn’t believe in love.
But I might be willing to make an exception for her.❤️
