Snowed-In With The Grumpy Mountain Man
(2026)(A book in the Grumpy Christmas Mountain Man Season 2 series)
A novel by Demi Wilder
I hate Christmas.
I hate the carols, the decorations, the forced cheer, and the way everyone insists on being jolly when there's perfectly good woodworking to do in silence.
I especially hate that my family just assigned me a holiday houseguest.
Joy Nakamura. Kindergarten teacher from California. Won some vacation package. Shows up covered in actual glitter with a smile so bright it should be illegal.
She's relentlessly cheerful. I'm aggressively not.
She decorates my cabin without asking. Sings while she cooks. Tries to put a Santa hat on my dog.
I should kick her out. I should demand my family take her back.
Instead, I watch her string lights on my porch and feel something crack in my chest.
Because underneath all that sunshine, Joy is running from something. The smile never wavers, but her eyes tell a different story.
She won't stop smiling.
Maybe she needs someone safe enough to cry with.
Snowed-In With The Grumpy Mountain Man is a grumpy-sunshine Christmas romance featuring the scowling Redwood brother who hates the holidays, the sparkly kindergarten teacher hiding her own darkness, and a cabin that's too small for two people—and just right for falling in love. Guaranteed HEA with no cheating.
Genre: Romance
