Provoked By The Mountain Man
(2025)(A book in the Eden Ridge: Hunter Brothers series)
A novel by Raine Holt
She thinks I’m the villain. Hell, maybe I am.
But this is my mountain.
And if she’s gonna come at me swinging, she better be ready to fall—hard.
She marched onto my land with her tablet, big city attitude, and a red-stained mouth that could bring a grown man to his knees, making demands, assuming I’m the hired help and not the owner of the timber mill she’s come to cause trouble for.
She’s ten years younger and dead-set on taking me down.
My brothers and I have a reputation in this small mountain town. Let the gossipers believe what they want about me. I prefer my solitude. But Laurel doesn’t take my obvious hint to leave town and goes and gets herself hurt at my mill.
Something about seeing this stubborn woman vulnerable, pretending to stay strong, wakes up this inner beast who’ll stand between her and any danger.
Just when my heart thaws every time I make her smile, the real enemy has me questioning my instincts. Was she playing me this entire time?
Provoked By The Mountain Man is a small-town, age gap, enemies-to-lovers romance featuring a growly, ex-military mountain man rumored to be heartless, and a smart, ambitious environmental scientist used to getting her way—until she meets Grayson. This is book two in the Eden Ridge: Hunter Brothers series and can be read as a standalone with a guaranteed HEA.
Genre: Romance
