Her Off-Limits Mountain Man
(2026)(A book in the Woodbridge Falls Security Romance series)
A novel by Annie Carlisle
She's a fire hazard. He's the one getting burned.
Sloane has poured everything into her artisan candle business—her savings, her sanity, and enough melted wax to fill a small lake. With her big autumn launch event just weeks away, the last thing she needs is some grumpy security specialist telling her that her barn is a "combustion waiting to happen."
Too bad her brother just sent his best friend to do exactly that.
Brady has spent ten years avoiding Sloane. Not because he doesn't like her—that's the problem. She's his best friend's little sister, and some lines you don't cross. Keeping his distance was the only way to keep his hands to himself.
Now he's stuck in her workspace every day, watching her argue with him over fire codes, testing his self-control with every accidental touch, and naming her candles things like "Mountain Man Musk" just to mess with him. His carefully maintained walls don't stand a chance.
She thinks he's being impossible. He thinks she's a safety violation in human form. They're both right—and they're both in trouble.
Because the heat between them has nothing to do with open flames. And when her brother shows up for the launch event, Brady's going to have to decide what matters more: a decade of loyalty, or the woman he's spent all that time pretending not to want.
Some fires you can't put out.
Genre: Romance
