Mountain Man's Offer
(2024)(The ninth book in the Moonshine Ridge Mountain Men series)
A Novella by Rocklyn Ryder
I said Sparrow was my fiancee to protect her, but I plan to make our engagement real.
Vale Diaz
The pretty, young thing pouring my whiskey today is new around here. One look and immediately I'm a man obsessed. But Sparrow doesn't need a grumpy, ex-Marine hovering over her.
The corps left me with too many scars; both the kind that show and the kind that don't, for me to think this ray of sunshine would have anything to do with the likes of me.
Until some pencil-neck weasel comes into the bar one night while I'm nursing a drink I only ordered so I could see Sparrow.
He wants her back; orders her to walk off her job and come home with him this instant.
That's when I stand up, using all six foot, five inches of my wide frame to tell the nitwit to leave my fiancée alone.
Now Sparrow's stuck with me, pretending I'm the love of her life while we wait for her ex to give up and leave town without her.
But when our little charade crosses the line, I only have one chance to convince her that I'm not pretending.
***
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: New Adult Romance
