Curvy Christmas Clause
(2025)(A book in the Mountain Man Brides for Christmas series)
A Story by Lainey Rivers
I came to the mountain to disappear. Now I need a wife if I want to stay hidden.
Five years after a helicopter crash destroyed my career and left me with nightmares that claw me awake, I’ve built a fortress of solitude in the mountains of Raptor Creek, West Virginia. Just me, my dog Edgar, and enough altitude to keep my demons at bay.
Then an overlooked clause in my insurance settlement threatens to rip it all away.
The solution? Get married by Christmas.
A transactional arrangement seems simple enough. I place an ad like I’m ordering furniture.
What I get is Drew Hartman.
She’s twenty-two to my forty. Curvy, capable, and completely off-limits. She’s running from her overbearing brothers and needs seed money to start over. I need a signature. Easy.
Except nothing about Drew is easy.
Edgar adopts her in thirty seconds flat. She doesn’t flinch at my nightmares. She borrows my thermals like they were made for her. And when she moans over pie like it’s holy, keeping my distance becomes impossible.
This was supposed to be temporary—one year, separate bedrooms, clear boundaries.
Too late. I’m already falling for my wife. And the thought of losing her when our contract ends might break what’s left of me.
Good thing Drew is a trauma nurse... because my heart is pretty wrecked.
Curvy Christmas Clause is a steamy, cozy, mountain man holiday romance. Part of the Mountain Man Christmas Brides world—standalone romances with high heat, protective heroes, and bold heroines—this quick read delivers enough heart to keep you glowing all winter long.
