The Mountain Man's Hunted Bride

I’m Gray—retired Ranger, mountain man, and the last person anyone should cross.
I live alone in the wilderness because solitude keeps me safe.
Then Tawny shows up on my doorstep—shaken, bruised, and claiming she’s my mail-order bride.
She’s running from something that won’t let her go. And when I realize she’s being hunted, my instincts kick in.
I protect her quietly at first… until the danger comes too close.
Then I become what I am: possessive, ruthless, and determined to keep her where she belongs—under my roof, in my bed, and out of the reach of anyone who dares to touch her.
If they come for her again, they won’t leave alive.
Dark, spicy, protective mountain man romantic suspense with forced proximity and a hard-won HEA.
