Cider for the Mountain Man

She’s the sweetest treat at the harvest festival. He’s the grumpy mountain man who wants a taste.

I’ve spent years secretly falling for Caden McGivens.

The rugged mountain man behind organizing Meadow Falls' Harvest Festival has no idea that I volunteer every year just for the chance to steal a few glances his way. At least, that's what I keep telling myself.

Because every time I look up, Caden is already looking at me. With his signature scowl, I can’t tell if he already hates me or if he’s looking for an excuse to.

When the festival winds down, I make a terrible decision. I head for the corn maze—a mistake that led to getting lost for two hours because of my lacking sense of direction.

Only Caden won’t let me go in alone.

Now I'm wandering through twisting rows of corn with the man I've been craving from afar, and the way he's looking at me makes me wonder if getting lost was exactly what he had in mind.

I may lose my way between the rows of corn, but I'm about to find out what happens when a grumpy mountain man finally decides to claim what's his.
