Fierce Mountain Man And the Curvy Rebel
(2026)(Book 26 in the Sexy Mountain Man Flame series)
A novel by Emily Crescent
They put my night with him on tomorrow’s agenda. Nine a.m., town hall, cameras, witnesses. They call it "conflict of interest." I call it the moment my whole life could be erased.
Declan Ross: sun‑dark, two‑hands of cedar calluses, a scar on his forearm that looks like an apology. He owns the ridge I’m trying to save. He also brought me coffee in a storm, a tarp on a rain-slick night, and his body when a crowd pushed too hard. He steadies me. He infuriates me. He makes me want to stop yelling.
We fought in public and bled in private. I shoved banners. He read my checklist. He escorted me off the line and then led me up his mountain so I could see why he promised his father he'd never sell. We planted a sapling. We kissed like it was protest and surrender all at once. We woke to reporters on his porch.
Now Fox will brand me a puppet. The vote will decide whether the old growth stays and whether I'm still trusted. My movement could be weaponized with one leaked night.
He says he'll stand beside me. Not in front. Not silent. Can I risk loving him and saving everything I built?
