Mountain Man's Curvy Neighbor
(2027)(The second book in the Crescent Ridge Curvy Girls series)
A Story by Jacqueline Carmine
Tucker
I don't need a neighbor. I don't need a friend. I sure as hell don't need a curvy city girl showing up on my porch with banana bread and a smile that threatens my peace of mind.
I bought my slice of this mountain for the silence. Then Nicki moved into the falling-down cabin next door with zero survival instincts, and now I can't stop watching her from my kitchen window.
I tell myself she's temporary. City girls like her don't last a winter up here. I tell myself I don't care if her porch collapses, her pipes freeze, or she gets herself killed trying to fix a house that's actively trying to end her.
I'm lying on every count.
When a storm finally makes her roof cave, I stop pretending.
Now I'm rebuilding her house by day and losing my mind by night, because the woman is determined to have both her independence and my sanity. I've got to prove that stubborn, scowling mountain men can still learn how to love someone right, before she packs up that smart mouth and those curves I can't stop thinking about, and walks straight out of my life.
Crescent Ridge Curvy Girls is a series of steamy, small-town standalone romances. Each book follows a different curvy heroine finding love with the rugged man who was worth the wait — no cheating, no cliffhangers, and as always a happily ever after.
Genre: Romance
