Falling For the Grumpy Mountain Man
(2025)(A book in the Forbidden In Fall Mountain Man Romance series)
A novel by Adriana French
When a freak storm rolls in, stranding her on my mountain, I have no choice but to take her in. I knew her when she was a kid, but she’s all pouty lips and curves now, stoking a raw, primal need I thought I buried. And when she flirts with me, she has no idea she’s playing with fire.
SierraI came to Montana for the spectacular fall foliage, chasing the perfect shot for my first exhibit. A flat tire and a storm weren’t on my bingo card—neither was stranding myself in front of Zephyr Stone’s cabin. My childhood crush, that grumpy, chiseled mountain man, is still hot as sin, even with twenty years on me.
He’s all growls and walls, always saving everyone but himself. But this time, I’ll be the one to save him. I’m done dreaming. I’ll tempt him to unravel, and finally claim me with that forbidden heat I know he’s hiding—
Zephyr
She stepped out of a grove of pines in the middle of nowhere, Sierra—the girl from my past is now a woman who stops my heart. I’m forty-seven, too old for her teasing glances, and those short skirts that drive me wild.
Every thought’s a sin, every look a spark. She’s forbidden, too young, too perfect. But if she keeps tempting me, I’ll break. And when I do, I’ll snap, claim her hard, ruin her for anyone else and make that sweet cupcake mine forever.
