Protected by the Mountain Man
(2025)(A book in the Grizzly Ridge: Protectors series)
A novel by Tessa McRae
She was barely eighteen when I made a promise to her father to protect her.
Now Riley Hart is standing on my porch, twenty-three, trouble in a tank top, and looking at me like I’m her next mistake.
I’m twice her age. Scarred. Set in my ways. But every time she looks at me with those big eyes, my restraint fractures.
I told her she could stay here until she found her feet.
But every night she’s under my roof, I dream about what it would feel like to claim her—hard, fast, and forever.
They’ll say I’m too old for her. That I’m broken. But she doesn’t care.
And if anyone tries to take her from me, they’ll learn just how dangerous I can be when someone I love is threatened.
She'''s not too young. She’s just right.
And she’s mine.
