Finding the Mountain Man
(2023)(The fourth book in the Moonshine Ridge Mountain Men series)
A Novella by Rocklyn Ryder
Cypress
I'm happy for my brothers, really, but I'm not cut out for that kind of life: Living in town, running a business, settling down with a woman and filling her up with my babies.
I'm content up here in my cabin, living off the grid and keeping busy with my animals.
Until I meet a woman who really gets my goat. Literally.
Violet's a vision in a sundress and sandals when she finds me out in the field to ask if Alfred belongs to me.
I want to tell her that old goat isn't the only one that belongs to me, but any fool can see that a woman like Violet isn't going to let a rough old grump like me steal her away to the mountains and claim her as his own.
Until she shares her secret with me and I know this is where she belongs: with me, on my mountain, growing our children inside her.
Violet
Something about the place calls to me.
Maybe it's the tall granite peaks that protectively surround the small community or the peace I find in the wilderness but I feel safer here than I've ever been.
But real life comes with responsibilities and opportunities are scarce in Moonshine Ridge.
Then the runaway goat I come across has me braving the long dirt driveway with its intimidating "no trespassing" signs on a search for the owner. Who turns out to be a man so rugged I could swear he's carved from the rocks themselves.
Cypress McAllister is all mountain man, complete with off grid cabin, an aversion to people, and wounds deeper than my own. One look and I know I would happily stay on his mountain with him forever if only he wanted me that way.
I'm ready to take my broken heart and part ways with my new friends and family here on the ridge when Cypress surprises us all by showing up and staking his claim-- on me.

Welcome to Moonshine Ridge and the rugged wilderness surrounding the remote mountain community where the history is long, the local lore is deep, and the men are as wild as the mountains they come from.
Protective, possessive, totally obsessed; the men of Moonshine Ridge will do anything necessary to claim the women they love and give her the happily ever after she deserves.
The Moonshine Ridge books contain a lot of insta love, some swearing, some steamy scenes, zero cheating, and a lot of swoon-worthy happy endings. They're interconnected with recurring characters but can be read as stand-alones in any order.
Genre: Romance
