About this ebook

She’s trouble wrapped in sunshine. And I’ll break every rule to have her.

They call me The Fortress. Grumpy. Broody. Hard as stone. I built my reputation on keeping people out, and I’ve never let anyone get close enough to tear me down.

Until her. My ex’s little sister. Sunshine in boots with a smile that tempts me to break every rule I’ve lived by. She’s sweet where I’m rough, light where I’m shadows, and I can’t stop wanting her.

Every smile makes me weak. Every look makes me hungry. And every time we’re alone, I want to pin her against the wall and show her exactly what happens when you tempt a mountain man who doesn’t know how to let go.

The town will talk. Lines will be crossed. Hearts will break. But none of it matters when she’s in my arms, begging for more.

She was supposed to be off-limits. Now she’s mine to take, mine to ruin, and mine to keep.


Hard Timber Mountain Men

Six names. One blog post. And a town full of flannel, grudges, and emotionally unavailable men who just got called out.

They said these men were cold. Untouchable. Heartbreaks waiting to happen. Now their names are plastered all over The Ex List—a brutal anonymous post that’s got the whole town talking… and the women of Hard Timber watching.

The list was meant as a warning. Instead, it’s daring these men to prove everyone wrong. Now the most untouchable bachelors in Hard Timber are under pressure—and under the spotlight.

Some want redemption. Some want revenge. And some just want the woman standing in their way.

Because once a mountain man decides he’s all in…There’s no going back. No holding back. And no one else will ever compare.

She’s trouble wrapped in sunshine. And I’ll break every rule to have her. They call me The Fortress. Grumpy. Broody. Hard as stone. I built my reputation on keeping people out, and I’ve never let anyone get close enough to tear me down. Until her. My ex’s little sister. Sunshine in boots with a s...

This short story is dual POV, well written, and a sweet and steamy, small town, sister’s ex, forced proximity, contemporary romance. I enjoyed the optimistic temperament of Gillian, the female lead, and her willingness to keep making overtures to Ridge, the male lead. I sympathised with Ridge’s historical trauma, though his reactions felt a bit extreme. I enjoyed seeing him emerge from his self-imposed shell. I enjoyed the supportive secondary characters. I enjoyed the steamy intimate moments.
