Christmas With The Mountain Man Next Door
(2026)(A book in the Mountain Man Christmas - Season 2 series)
A novel by Demi Wilder
I built my cabin for silence.
Five years of renovations. Every board placed by my own hands. A sanctuary from the noise, the chaos, the marriage that fell apart because I couldn't be what she needed.
Then the property next door sold.
My new neighbor has a dog that won't stop barking. A car that won't start in cold weather. And absolutely no concept of how to leave a man in peace.
Josie Brennan is chaos incarnate. Loud. Messy. Losing things constantly.
She's also spending Christmas alone.
So am I.
I tell myself I'm only helping because her pipes froze and no one should be cold on Christmas Eve. I tell myself dinner is just neighborly. I tell myself the way she smiles at me like I'm not the grumpiest man she's ever met doesn't make something crack open in my chest.
I'm lying.
She's everything I'm not. Warm. Open. Alive in a way I forgot to be somewhere along the way.
I built these walls to keep people out.
She's making me want to tear them down.
Christmas With The Mountain Man Next Door is a neighbors-to-lovers holiday romance featuring a grumpy carpenter who built walls around his heart, the chaotic woman next door who crashes through every single one, and a Christmas that proves the best gifts are the ones you didn't know you wanted. Guaranteed HEA with no cheating.
Genre: Romance
