The Mountain Man's Unexpected Family
(2026)(The second book in the Timber Falls Mountain Men series)
A novel by Aspen Wade
He delivers her baby in a blizzard. Now he'll fight to make them his family.
Caitlyn Forbes is seven months pregnant, alone, and running from a life that fell apart. When her car breaks down on a remote Montana mountain road during a blizzard, she's certain this is how her story ends—stranded, terrified, and going into early labor with no help for miles.
Then a gruff mountain man in a pickup truck appears out of the snow like something from a dream.
Finn O'Rourke wasn't expecting to deliver a baby on the worst night of winter. The stonemason and reluctant animal rescuer has spent five years avoiding anything that reminds him of the family he couldn't have—the ex-wife who left because he couldn't give her children, the cabin that echoes with loneliness. But when roads close and contractions start, his remote cabin becomes an impromptu delivery room.
With a 911 operator on the phone and steady hands that have built stone empires, Finn brings a healthy baby girl into the world. Then the storm traps them together for four days, and everything he thought he knew about his broken heart shifts.
Caitlyn is fierce, funny, and refuses to be anyone's charity case—even when she's exhausted and vulnerable with a newborn. She sees past his grumpy exterior to the gentle giant who's incredible with her daughter, who makes her feel safe for the first time in months. And Finn falls for the baby first, then for the courageous woman who's rebuilding her life from scratch.
But when his ex-wife returns wanting a second chance, old wounds resurface. Finn has to decide whether his infertility defines him—or whether family is something you choose, not something you're born with. And Caitlyn must learn that accepting help isn't weakness; sometimes it's the bravest thing you can do.
Will a man who believes he's broken be brave enough to claim the instant family that's healing his heart? And can a woman who's been abandoned trust that this mountain man is all in—forever?
