The Mountain Man's Christmas Guest
(2026)(A book in the Sexy Small Town Christmas series)
A novel by Cora Lakewood
All she wanted for Christmas was a little peace and quiet. Then the mountain man showed up.
Eve Marlow is officially taking Christmas off.
No cooking for twenty relatives. No wrapping everyone else's presents. No playing referee at the family dinner table. This year, she's escaping to a borrowed cabin in Ridgewood Falls with a stack of romance novels, a bottle of wine, and absolutely no intention of making anyone else's holiday magical.
Then the cabin's plumbing gives up, and her peaceful Christmas goes straight down the drain.
Enter Nik Rafferty.
Six-foot-four, built like a linebacker, and wearing the most ridiculous Christmas sweater Eve has ever seen, Nik is the last person she expects to find on her doorstep. The mountain man who manages the local vacation rentals offers her a room at his place, and with nowhere else to go, Eve reluctantly accepts.
His house is a Christmas wonderland. His smile is downright dangerous. And the way he looks at her makes Eve think a little holiday indulgence might be exactly what she needs.
Nik falls hard for the beautiful woman who insists she doesn't want anything for Christmas. He's more than happy to show her how much fun it can be to put herself first, especially when it comes to the naughty things she wants to do with him.
Eve came to Ridgewood Falls looking for a Christmas fling with no strings attached. Nik has other plans.
Because this mountain man isn't interested in being her holiday escape. He wants to be the man she comes home to.
The Mountain Man's Christmas Guest is a steamy, small-town instalove romance featuring a protective mountain man with a heart of gold, forced proximity, a holiday fling that turns into forever, plenty of Christmas cheer, and a guaranteed happily ever after.
It is part of the Sexy Small Town Christmas series. Don’t miss the other books and heat up this year’s holiday season.
