Snowbound with the Reclusive Mountain Man
(2026)(A book in the Kincaid Mountain Men series)
A Story by Demi Wilder
I've spent five years alone on this mountain, and I like it that way.
No neighbors. No small talk. No one asking questions about the limp or why I stopped jumping out of planes into wildfires. Just me, the snow, and the silence.
Then the storm hits, and I find her—half-frozen, cursing at her dead rental car, looking at me like I'm the problem.
Maren Cross is everything I've avoided. Curious. Talkative. Soft in all the places I've gone hard. She's supposed to wait out the storm and leave.
But the storm doesn't stop. Days pass. And somewhere between her stealing my coffee and falling asleep on my couch, I stop wanting her to go.
She's not staying. Women like her don't stay in places like this, with men like me.
Except she keeps looking at me like maybe—just maybe—she's forgotten she's supposed to leave.
I'm a man who knows better than to hope. But I'm also a man who's starting to realize that five years of silence was just me waiting for the right voice to break it.
Snowbound with the Reclusive Mountain Man is a grumpy-sunshine romance featuring a scarred hermit who forgot how to let anyone in, the curious travel writer who makes him want to try, and a storm that traps them together with only one bed. Guaranteed HEA with no cheating.
Genre: Romance
