Vowed Curves
(2026)(The fifth book in the Mountain Men of Wolfjaw Falls series)
A Story by Julie Scarlet
Five years ago, I left this mountain with a broken heart. I'm coming back with someone else's baby.
I told myself I'd never set foot here again. Then I ran out of road, out of money, out of safe places to disappear. The only address my hands remembered belonged to Jase. The man my dead brother made swear he'd never touch me. The man who kept his word even when I begged him not to. He's at the woodpile when I pull up, staring like he doesn't know whether to gather me up or send me right back down the mountain.
I'm six months along and finally remembering how to stand at my full height. The ex I left bruised me in places that don't show. The mountain doesn't forgive. The town doesn't forget. And he made a vow he hasn't broken in five years.
But I didn't come back hoping he'd break it.
I came back because she's coming, and I don't have anywhere else to put her down safe.
So tell me, Jase — what's a vow worth when the wrong man finds us first?
