Mountain Man's Fierce Claim
(2026)(The third book in the Rugged Loners of Timber Peak Valley series)
A Story by Hazel J North
She got tangled in my barbed wire fence. I got tangled in her.
Nell
I’m not a stalker. I’m just a woman who owns a flower farm and maybe drove past the hardware store four times hoping to catch a glimpse of Reid. And maybe asked a few too many questions about the man who lives so far up Timber Peak that nobody knows exactly where.
So when I finally sneak up his mountain to get a proper look at him, I don’t expect to end up caught in his barbed wire fence at dusk like the world’s most clumsy trespasser.
Reid
People disappoint you. I learned that early, and I learned it well. So I came to this mountain, built my fence high, and stopped giving anyone the chance to penetrate my defenses.
Then Nell gets herself snagged in my barbed-wire like a determined, warm-hearted catastrophe.
I swore I was done letting people close enough to let me down. But Nell isn’t like anyone I’ve ever known. She’s chaos and sunshine, and she talks enough for both of us.
One of these days, I’m going to have to shut her up with a kiss.
Mountain Man’s Fierce Claim is a short and steamy instalove romance featuring a guarded mountain man who finally meets the one woman worth the risk. No cliffhanger, no cheating, and a guaranteed HEA. This book is part of Rugged Loners of Timber Peak Valley, a steamy instalove romance series set in a small mountain town full of rugged, protective recluses.
Genre: Romance
