He buys a cocoa from her every morning. He has never once drunk it.
Camilla Marlowe runs her grandmother's copper-kettle cocoa wagon out of Stall 7 at the Merry Axe-Mas Market, and she leaves every town in January before anyone can ask her to. Zedrick Pike fells the timber above Ironwood Falls and raises the market's stalls with his own crew. He decided what she was to him two weeks ago. When the blizzard warning empties the river flats, he shutters her stall, straps her kettles into his truck bed, and takes her up the mountain.
The switchbacks close behind them. Nine below, one cabin, one bed, and a man who does not know how to hold anything loosely.
Then her mail catches up with her. The dream offer she stopped expecting, with a deadline she cannot stall past. A second storm is coming for the market row that pays her whole year. And the only thing more dangerous than a mountain in December is a quiet man who has already decided you are his.
Tropes: Instalove · Curvy heroine · OTT possessive (touch her and die) · Forced proximity (snowed in) · Aggressive caretaker · Grumpy lumberjack x sunshine vendor · He falls first · 5/5 heat
