A Mountain Rancher for Valentine's Day
(2026)(A book in the Timber Falls Mountain Men series)
A Story by Aspen Wade
She spent ten years loving the wrong man. He spent five years waiting for her to see him.
Katie Mitchell is done being invisible. After watching her secret crush marry someone else, she's finally ready to move on—if only she knew how. Throwing herself into work at the lumber mill and volunteering at the animal shelter keeps her busy, but it doesn't fill the emptiness in her heart.
Rick Dawson knows all about waiting. The quiet mountain rancher has been in love with Katie since the day she walked into his life—but she only had eyes for another man. Now that she's finally free, he's not going to waste his second chance.
When a freak ice storm throws them together during calving season, Katie starts to see what's been right in front of her all along: a steady, patient man who's never wanted anyone but her. But after years of being overlooked, Katie's terrified of trusting her heart again.
Can she let go of the past and accept a love that's been waiting for her all along? Or will fear keep her from the happily ever after she deserves?
