Autumn Mountain Man (Bitterroot Ridge Bodyguards)

Barbara “Babs” Mills came to the mountains for the festivals, the foliage, and a fresh start she could actually breathe in. What she didn’t expect was the quiet pull of a man who keeps to the edges of town—and watches everything.

Fletcher Morrisson doesn’t do crowds. Or pumpkin contests. Or getting close to anyone who might ask questions he can’t answer. He blends in just enough to pass for a local, keeping his head down and his instincts sharp.

When a sudden storm strands Babs outside town after dark, Fletcher is the one who finds her. The one who knows exactly where to lead her. The one who stays close when the cold creeps in and the night stretches longer than it should.

Sheltered together with no way out until morning, sparks ignite fast in the flickering glow of autumn lantern light. Babs thinks she’s falling for a reserved mountain man who prefers solitude to small talk.

Autumn Mountain Man is a short, steamy instalove romance featuring fall festivals, forced proximity, a protector hero hiding in plain sight, and a curvy heroine who becomes his one weakness. No cheating. No cliffhangers. Guaranteed HEA.
