🔥 Her car died on a mountain road. The bearded giant with the axe might save her — or ruin her completely.
Sadie Ortiz is mid-panic on a remote highway when the trees part and a man built like a fortress appears. Liam Ashford hasn't spoken to another human in three weeks. He likes the silence. People are noise.
But Sadie is a different frequency entirely.
One night in his cabin becomes three when a snowstorm seals the pass. She's loud where he's quiet. Warm where he's walled off. She cooks in his kitchen like she belongs there, humming off-key, and Liam cannot stop watching.
💕 "You're staring," she catches him. "You're hard to ignore," he admits.
The tension breaks — not with a kiss but with a confession. Liam reveals why he fled civilization. The company he built and lost. The betrayal that hollowed him out. The shame he wears like a second skin.
Sadie touches his face and says the words that crack him open: he's not hiding — he's healing.
The storm clears. Her alternator is fixed. The road home is wide open.
She doesn't take it.
He doesn't ask her to.
