Claiming My Mountain Man
(2026)(A book in the Forbidden In Fall Mountain Man Season 2 series)
A novel by Britt Jones
Micah Hale has lived his life by two rules: Survive and keep the world at arm’s length. At forty-one, the former Army Ranger is a shadow in the Adirondack wilderness—silent, capable, and utterly alone.
Until Juniper Brooke shows up.
Twenty-four, fearless, and impossibly determined, Juniper is his best friend’s daughter—and she’s been in love with him for as long as she can remember. Now she’s a Forest Ranger and she’s come to learn from him. Not from books, not from classrooms—from him, the man who knows the mountains better than anyone.
Three months. One autumn. One cabin.
She wants his knowledge. She wants his guidance.
What she doesn’t tell him: she also wants his fire, his strength, the quiet control he wields so effortlessly—and she isn’t leaving until she gets it all.
The mountains are unforgiving, but so are hearts. And for Micah and Juniper, survival might mean letting go... and falling hard.
