Possessed by the Mountain Man
(2025)(The ninth book in the Rugged Hearts series)
A novel by Aria Cole
A haunted lodge.
A grumpy mountain man.
A glitter-soaked hurricane of chaos.
Let the mayhem begin…
Aspen Taylor doesn’t do boring. So when she shows up alone to a "Haunted Couples' Retreat" with a pumpkin suitcase, six wigs, and a trunk full of Halloween décor, she’s not about to let reality—or a smoking hot mountain man—tell her no.
Too bad Thorne Maddox has made "no" his entire personality.
He’s the brooding caretaker of Devil’s Peak Lodge—shirtless, scowling, and allergic to joy. She’s sunshine dipped in sarcasm with a death grip on her glitter gun. He wants solitude. She wants fog machines, cobwebs, and a sexy witch costume that is absolutely against lodge policy.
Then a storm traps them inside with:
A grumpy mountain man.
A glitter-soaked hurricane of chaos.
