Crushing On The Mountain Man Bodyguard
(2027)(A book in the Mountain Music Mayhem Romance series)
A novel by Demi Wilder
She came to Ridge's End to disappear. I'm the reason she never wanted to leave.
I don't babysit celebrities. I told the festival that twice before they put her name in front of me.
Then they showed me the threats. The leaked photos. The ex who burned her career to the ground and called it love. And the little detail nobody led with: she travels with a four-year-old and a guitar case held together with tape.
Dahlia Perkins is supposed to be the comeback headliner. America's fallen sweetheart, here to prove she's not the scandal they wrote about her. What the world doesn't see is the woman who hums to her daughter at two in the morning, who flinches when a stranger gets too close, who's spent two years being told she's too much trouble to protect.
She's not trouble. She's mine to keep safe. I just didn't expect those to become the same sentence.
The first time she steps off that bus, soft curves and tired eyes and a smile she doesn't trust herself to use anymore, my whole body goes still. The first time her girl falls asleep against my chest, something in me cracks wide open. And the first time Dahlia looks at me like I'm a man instead of a wall between her and the world, I stop pretending this is just a job.
The cabin's got one bed. The festival's got cameras in every pine tree. And the man who ruined her is already in town.
He thinks she came back to perform.
He's going to learn what happens when a mountain man decides a woman and her daughter are home.
Crushing On My Mountain Man Bodyguard is a protective-bodyguard mountain man romance featuring a curvy single-mom country singer clawing her way back, the older, growly security man who'd burn the whole festival down before he'd let anyone touch her, and one cabin, one little girl, and one scandal that won't stay buried. Forced proximity. Age gap. Guaranteed HEA. No cheating. No cliffhangers.
Genre: Romance
