Mountain Man's Lucky Charm
(2026)(The fourth book in the Wildwood Valley Rescue series)
A novel by Lilah Hart
A matchmaker heroine. A protective mountain man. A rescue-dog meet-cute that changes everything.I was always the matchmaker heroine—
the supportive friend, the emotional observer, the woman cheering from the sidelines while everyone else risked their heart.
It was safer to believe in secondhand romance.
I’d seen what real love could do.
I’d watched vulnerability get punished.
I’d learned early that emotional self-protection mattered more than happily ever after.
So I stayed guarded. Careful. Alone.
Until a seven-pound rescue dog charged toward traffic…
and a protective mountain man in a Navy shirt caught him before disaster struck.
Micah wasn’t part of the plan.
He was steady strength. Unshakable certainty.
The kind of man who looked at me like I was the missing piece to a life he’d already chosen.
The kind of man who made falling feel inevitable—and terrifying.
He asked me to dinner.
I said yes.
He took me to the mountaintop overlook, all open sky and quiet promises.
I let myself believe.
When he told me he’d known from the first moment—known I was the one—
I realized the most dangerous thing wasn’t loving him.
It was wanting to be loved back.
I’d spent my life creating perfect love stories for everyone else.
It took one stubborn little dog and one man who refused to let me run to show me I deserved one of my own.
Sometimes the matchmaker romance becomes the love story.
