About this ebook
Forty-five minutes before saying I do, Daphne Clarke walks away from a life that looks perfect on paper.
Still wearing a fifteen-thousand-dollar couture wedding gown, she escapes into the Cascade Mountains only to stumble into the remote cabin of Elias Thorne, a rugged, reclusive bestselling thriller author who has no patience for unexpected guests, muddy boots, or the beautiful stranger who has just destroyed his carefully controlled solitude.
Elias has rules.
Daphne has never been particularly good at following them.
Then an apocalyptic ash storm descends on the valley.
The roads disappear. The power fails. Civilization is cut off. And suddenly, the runaway bride and the grumpy author are trapped together with nowhere to go and absolutely no way to ignore the attraction simmering between them.
Forced into close quarters, Daphne discovers the freedom she's been missing all her life. Elias discovers that the woman who talks too much, sketches him at his desk, and challenges every assumption he has about people might be the only person who truly sees him.
He was supposed to protect his solitude.
She was supposed to return to her perfect life.
Neither planned on falling in love.
But when the storm finally clears, the real world comes crashing back in.
Her powerful fiancé wants her back. Elias is convinced that loving Daphne means letting her go. And Daphne must choose between the life everyone else designed for her and the life she finally has the courage to claim.
Because sometimes, the wrong turn leads you exactly where you're meant to be.
Tulle & Timber is a grumpy-sunshine, runaway bride, forced-proximity romance filled with opposites-attract chemistry, mountain-cabin tension, emotional healing, and a hard-won happily-ever-after.
