Broken In Cedar Ridge
(2026)(The fifth book in the Mountain Men of Cedar Ridge series)
A Story by M J Herald
I came to Cedar Ridge to heal. I never planned on falling for the most infuriating man in town.
Theo Taggart is a grumpy mountain firefighter who lives alone at the edge of the forest—scarred, guarded, and determined to keep the world at arm’s length. He ran into one blaze too many and walked away carrying wounds no one can see.
I’m the new ER doctor in Cedar Ridge, trying to rebuild my life after everything fell apart. I don’t need complications. I definitely don’t need a man who fixes my porch steps without asking, watches me like I’m something precious, and looks at me like I’m already his.
But when Theo finally touches me—gently, reverently, as if I might shatter in his hands—I realize the truth.
I’m not the only one who needs saving.
And this wounded mountain man? He’d walk into a fire without hesitation if it meant keeping me safe.
In Cedar Ridge, love has a way of changing everything.
A protective firefighter. A healing small-town romance. And a love worth fighting for.
