Big & Rough Billionaire Mountain Man's Lockdown
(2026)(A book in the Big & Rough Mountain Men series)
A Story by Sara Hazel
STARLIGHT
My whole life, I’ve been invisible.
As a quiet, plus-sized twenty-six-year-old,I’m used to making myself small and hiding behind my spreadsheets. But when a suspicious data anomaly sends me up a freezing, isolated mountain to audit a reclusive tech billionaire's private servers, disappearing is no longer an option.
Reed Slate’s estate is a towering steel and granite fortress that feels like a bunker designed by a man who hates the world. And the man himself? He’s a scarred, six-foot-five warlord who looks at me with a dark, untamed hunger that stops the breath in my lungs.
When a sudden cyber breach triggers an estate-wide lockdown, I’m trapped with him behind two-ton blast doors. I thought I was sent here just to be a warm body for an audit, but under Reed's intense, possessive touch, I suddenly feel like I'm the center of his universe.
REED
I built this mountain fortress to keep the world out.
For ten years, I’ve craved nothing but silence and order, refusing all public appearances and retreating from society. Then Starlight Evans steps out of my elevator. She smells like warm vanilla and clean skin, and in ninety seconds, a decade of my carefully cultivated control goes up in flames.
The moment the lockdown protocols seal us inside, the breach, the sirens, and the rest of my multi-billion-dollar empire cease to exist. The outside world doesn't matter anymore, because the only real thing is the soft, shaking woman pinned against my server rack. My little Star.
My security team doesn't get to look at her.
Nobody gets to look at her but me.
She thinks she’s only staying until the doors open, but she doesn't realize I'm a man who will shut down the entire mountain's airspace just to keep her. She is mine, and I am going to spend the rest of my life proving it.
