Blind Date With The Mountain Man Protector
(2027)(A book in the Date Night In the Mountains Romance series)
A novel by Avery Shaw
I don't do dates. Don't do small talk or candlelight or restaurants. But my buddy's wife won't take no for an answer, so I show up. One dinner. Thirty minutes. Then back to my cabin.
Then she walks in.
Poppy Gallagher is curves, freckles, and a laugh that hits me like a fist to the sternum. She's also checking the door every ninety seconds like she's expecting someone dangerous to walk through it.
Turns out Poppy didn't come to Whisper Vale for a date. She came here to disappear. Her ex is connected, violent, and convinced she belongs to him. She's got a duffel bag, a burner phone, and a plan to stay invisible.
That plan didn't account for me.
One date becomes walking her home. Walking her home becomes checking her locks and hating every one of them. When I find out her rental cabin doesn't deadbolt, she's sleeping at my place. End of discussion.
She says I'm overbearing. I say her safety isn't a negotiation.
I was supposed to survive one blind date. Instead, I found the woman I'd burn the world down to protect.
Blind Date With The Mountain Man Protector is a steamy mountain man romance featuring a gruff, overprotective hero who falls hard on the first date and the sassy curvy heroine running from danger straight into his arms. Guaranteed HEA with no cheating.
Genre: Romance
