Mountain Man Tempted E-BOOK

He's the boss. She's the nanny. And he's one breath away from losing control.

Everyone in Hard Timber calls me the Iceberg. Cold. Unshakable. Shut off. They're not wrong. I've spent the last six years keeping things simple—work hard, raise my son, keep to myself. No one gets close. No one has the chance to leave.

Then Calla Smith shows up on my porch, all sunshine smiles and chaotic energy, ready to nanny my kid for the summer. She's too young. Too talkative. Too damn bright for a man like me. I knew from the start she'd be trouble. And I was right.

I try to keep my distance, but she's everywhere—laughing in my kitchen, curled up on my couch, fixing everything I didn't know was broken. She makes my kid feel safe. She makes my house feel like a home. She makes me feel things I haven't let myself want in years.

This was supposed to be temporary—just a summer job. But somewhere between pancake breakfasts, bedtime stories, and a kiss I can't stop replaying, she's become something I can't let go of.

I've worked hard to build a quiet, steady life for me and my son. I thought that meant keeping my heart locked up. But now I'm starting to realize… the bravest thing I can do… is give it to her and beg her to stay.

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.
