Mail-Order Bride for the Mountain Man

I bought a one-way ticket to marry a mountain man. But the grumpy, hardened Army veteran who opened the door has no idea who I am—and he wants me gone.Mollie  I spent my twenties doing everything right, only to have my heart shattered by a man who strung me along. I'm done waiting for a family. So, I took a massive leap of faith, drained my savings, and signed a mail-order bride contract with a rugged man who lives off the grid.But when I show up at his remote Colorado cabin, the towering, broad-shouldered man is furious. He didn't sign the contract—his meddling sister forged his name. He tells me to turn around and walk back down the mountain.But then the blizzard of the decade hits, trapping us together. Now, I'm stuck in a snowed-in cabin with a grumpy recluse who looks at me like he can't stand me.Brick  After twenty years in the Army, I built a fortress on Bitterroot Ridge to be left alone. I don't want a wife. I don't want a family. And I definitely don't want the soft, curvy city girl standing on my porch in designer boots, smelling like vanilla and demanding I honor a fake marriage contract.I try to keep my distance. I try to maintain my control. But Mollie is fearless. She doesn't flinch at my scars, she isn't afraid of the wild animals I rescue, and she is rapidly dismantling every wall I spent years building.The storm outside is brutal, but the heat between us is a fire that can't be put out. She thinks she's a burden I can't wait to get rid of. But by the time the snow clears, I'm going to prove to her that she's exactly where she belongs—and this mountain man plays for keeps.Tropes & Themes:   - Grumpy / Sunshine  - Forced Proximity (Snowed In!) - Accidental Mail-Order Bride  - Protective Mountain Man / Veteran Hero - Age Gap Instalove  - Wildlife RescueAuthor's Note: If you love fiercely protective heroes, capable heroines, and sweet and spicy bite-sized romance, then this one is for you.
