Maren's Mountain Man
(2026)(The first book in the Firefighters of Harrow Valley series)
A Story by Roxy Lush
Pulling a horse out of a frozen stock pond was dangerous.
Falling for the rescue firefighter who looked at my curves like he’d found his reason to stay?
That was worse.
I came to Harrow Valley to put down roots.
Five-year lease. New veterinary clinic. A life I chose for myself.
Then Cruz Reyes strides into an ice rescue like he was built for impossible things.
Broad shoulders.
Dark eyes.
Steady hands in freezing water.
The kind of man who can calm a panicked horse with one touch—and make me forget every rule I’ve ever followed.
He says he’s checking on the mare.
He is not checking on the mare.
Cruz has six fire stations behind him and one foot pointed toward the next road out.
I’m a large-animal vet who is done being temporary.
I should know better.
But Cruz keeps showing up.
At my clinic.
On my fire road.
In my kitchen.
And every time he looks at me, leaving seems a little less like freedom.
But wanting a man to stay isn’t the same as trusting him not to go.
I’ve worked too hard to build a home here. I won’t risk it for someone still searching for his.
If this mountain man wants me, he’ll have to prove he’s finally found a reason to stop running.
Maren’s Mountain Man is a steamy small-town romance featuring a curvy large-animal vet, a protective rescue firefighter, forced proximity, found family, he falls first, and a restless mountain man who may have finally found home.
Genre: Romance
