They gave me to him like an offering.
A girl for a winter’s protection. Dressed in white and sent up the mountain to a man the settlement only spoke of in whispers — if they spoke of him at all.
He didn’t want a wife.
He made that clear.
But he took me in anyway, and that one decision changed everything.
I knew the role I was supposed to play. I’d spent my whole life learning to take up less space, ask for less, expect nothing. Silent. Obedient. Useful. It was the only survival I’d ever known.
He had other ideas.
The mountain doesn’t forgive weakness. The infected don’t stop coming. And the people who traded me away are discovering they made a mistake they can’t take back.
But somewhere between learning to set traps and learning to trust, between his rough hands teaching me to fight and his dark eyes watching me like I was something worth keeping — I stopped being the girl they broke.
He sees who I’m becoming.
And I’m not going back.
🔥 Dark, high-heat zombie apocalypse romance. Broken mountain man. Forbidden desire. Forced proximity. Hard-won HEA. For readers who love gritty survival romance and fiercely protective alphas.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
