Rugged in Cedar Ridge
(2026)(The first book in the Cedar Ridge Search and Rescue series)
A Story by M J Herald
I came to Cedar Ridge for a temporary nursing contract.
I didn’t expect to get stranded in a snowstorm and rescued by a mountain of a man who refuses to let me out of his sight.
Rafe Callahan is everything I shouldn’t want. He’s gruff, controlled, and the intimidating leader of the Cedar Ridge Search & Rescue team.
He says I’m his responsibility after pulling me off the mountain.
Which apparently means keeping me in his cabin.
Sharing his fire.
And sleeping in his bed.
Rafe acts like he’s made of steel and discipline until he needs to take care of me.
Then I discover just how gentle this gruff mountain man can be.
I didn’t come here looking for love.
But the way this mountain man watches me?
It feels like he’s already decided I’m his.
Rugged in Cedar Ridge is a steamy grumpy/sunshine mountain man romance featuring forced proximity, a fiercely protective hero, and a guaranteed happily-ever-after.
