Rocking the Mountain Man
(2027)(A book in the Mountain Music Mayhem Romance series)
A novel by Tessa McRae
She's the most photographed woman at Rock the Ridge. I'm the man paid to make sure no one gets close enough to touch her. The irony isn't lost on me.
Twelve years in special forces. I've kept my head in war zones, talked down armed hostiles, survived things that would break most men. I don't rattle.
Then Vivienne Slate walks off that tour bus — leather jacket, red mouth, reputation preceding her like a warning shot — and my entire perimeter plan goes sideways.
She doesn't need a boyfriend. That's what she tells me.
Her PR team disagrees.
Some rival fed the press a story that's gaining traction fast, and the only way to kill it is to give them a better one. Enter: me. The flannel-wearing, absolutely-not-impressed mountain man who's supposed to look at her like she hung the moon.
I'm supposed to be acting.
The problem is I'm not.
She argues with me about everything. She plays guitar at two in the morning on the tour bus steps like nobody's watching. She makes me laugh when I've forgotten how. And somewhere between the fake hand-holding and the very real way she fits against me in the dark — the line disappeared.
Four days. One fake relationship.
No way out that doesn't cost me something.
She thinks this is damage control.
She has no idea it became real the moment I stopped pretending.
Rocking the Mountain Man is a steamy standalone mountain music festival romance featuring a stone-cold bodyguard who doesn't do feelings and the reputation-wrecked rock star who demolished every wall he built. No cheating. No cliffhanger. Guaranteed HEA.
Genre: Romance
