Dug Deep With The Mountain Man
(2026)(A book in the Spring in the Mountains series)
A novel by Opal Nicks
A Steamy Spring Small-Town Romance
Rainey Logan didn’t mean to rebuild her life in the Colorado mountains. Fresh off a bitter divorce and fueled by equal parts fury and freedom, she pours every cent of her settlement into a fixer-upper she’s only seen in internet photos. The listing said it needed ‘a little TLC.’
It needs everything. The soil is stubborn. The cabin is worse.
The last thing she needs is a slow-talking, broad-shouldered mountain man watching her wrestle a shovel like she’s declared war on the earth itself.
Troy Bennett doesn’t start what he doesn’t intend to finish. He’s learned the hard way that the harvest is absent when there are no roots beneath it. So when the fiery redhead he meets at the lumber yard shows up in town determined to conquer mountain soil — and possibly her own past — he offers guidance. Not rescue. Because up here, you don’t plant shallow.
Working side by side in the spring mountain air and sun, tension simmers. Rainey is all impulse and spark, ready to fall headfirst into something that feels easy and good. Troy is steady ground, guarding a heart that’s done investing in women who don’t stay.
But as the garden begins to take root, so does something neither of them planned. When Rainey is handed an easy way out, she’ll have to decide …
Is this just another fresh start … or the first place she’s ever willing to grow?
