This Christmas, I’m unwrapping more than presents.
Alden
I had reported from war zones, famines, and heartbreak, and it had hollowed me out. Hiding in a mountain cabin, I was supposed to be writing thrillers, but my editor wanted romance. One small problem? I had no clue how to write it.
Then I walked into the library and saw Joy, my teenage crush, the girl I had never touched but always wanted. She didn’t just give me a book list. She showed up at my cabin on Christmas Eve with an armful of romance novels.
Then the storm hit. We were snowed in, and those books weren’t exactly Hallmark fluff. They were full of kisses, dirty talk, and positions I couldn’t stop imagining her in.
Joy
I thought I was just dropping off a few romance novels for an old friend. Instead, I got snowed in with the boy I had once loved in secret, now a man who made me burn hotter than the fireplace.
Hypotheticals turned real. Fiction turned physical.
And the man who swore he couldn’t write passion was suddenly showing me more heat, more hunger, more love than I had ever dreamed.
That Christmas, the greatest story Alden ever wrote wasn’t on the page; it was the one we lived.
Teaching Christmas to the Mountain Man is a short and steamy childhood-friends-to-lovers romance featuring a curvy sunshine heroine, a grumpy mountain man with a past, and the snowstorm that trapped them together. Expect forced proximity, holiday heat, and a happily ever after wrapped in tinsel and temptation. Dual POV, past tense, first person.
Genre: Romance
