Mountain Man Defender
(2025)(The third book in the Mountain Men of Pineville series)
A novel by Debra Elise
Will the gruff, former Ranger finally accept I’m not letting our differences, or his equally grumpy guard dog, turn me away?
Lars Olsen
I’m the last single man standing on Pineville Mountain, or at least that’s what it feels like, and that’s just fine by me.
Then she shows up.
Smart, and smart-mouthed.
Way out of my league.
And stunning to the point I can barely function when I’m around her.
Well, parts of me function, and that’s the problem.
At least she’ll be gone soon.
Dylan’s sister married one of my best friend’s and she was only supposed to be here for a week. But then she’s hires her for the job I’d should have filled months ago.
Now she’s my employee, always in my space and she’s driving me up the wall. The beautiful and tempting woman occupies my every waking thought, and some nighttime ones as well—like ‘What do her lips taste like?’ or ‘Is she really flirting with me?’ and ‘When can I get her in my…’ um yeah, thoughts someone ten years older should keep to themselves-myself.
She’s off-limits. End of story.
I’m good with my life, just me and my dog. So, yeah….
Dylan Davis
After a year of "finding myself," I'm back home for my twin sister's wedding. But before the ceremony, she asks me for a favor: step into the role of guest services manager for The Triple R Lodge. It’s just for a couple months, she says. Then I can be onto my next adventure.
Yet, what I didn't count on was the bearded, burly and sexy mountain of a man who frustrates and tempts me beyond measure.
Lars fights our connection with irritated grunts and silent moody stares until he runs out of reasons to avoid me when we share a fiery kiss that turns into a passion-fueled night spent in his cabin.
He may not believe me, but I’m no longer running. Not when I’ve finally found love in the exact place I thought I had to leave to find my purpose in life, and love.
Can I prove to him that although we’re opposites in most things doesn’t mean we can’t have forever.
This is a retired military hero and a curvy, sassy younger heroine in an insta love, fast-paced, steamy-short novella with OTT vibes and a guaranteed HEA.
***
The MOUNTAIN MEN OF PINEVILLE are grumpyish, possessive and hard living, but these former Army Rangers also have big hearts and an even bigger purpose. In the mountains above Pineville, they offer their fellow veterans, and former first responders, what they’ve finally found: a place to rest, reclaim, and reinvent themselves. But what these alpha heroes never counted on finding were women strong enough to match them in wit, determination and passion.
Welcome to Pineville, Idaho, where love always finds a way.
