Kept by the Devoted Mountain Man
(2026)(The first book in the Summer Heat in Silver Ridge series)
A novel by Celia Skye
TESSA
I came to Silver Ridge to remember who I am without the man who decided he didn't want kids — specifically, mine.
One week. Fresh air. No agenda.
What I didn't plan for was a five-year-old who takes my hand during storytime like she's known me forever. Or her uncle — all sawdust and scowl — who drops to one knee the second she runs to him and becomes an entirely different man.
Beckett doesn't let people in. I know that. I can see exactly why.
But the way he watches me when he thinks I'm not looking makes me forget I was only ever here for a week.
Some people don't walk into your life by accident. Some of them just fit.

Kept by the Devoted Mountain Man is a short, steamy age-gap instalove romance featuring an instant family, a broody guardian uncle, and a guaranteed happy-ever-after.
