Scarlett:
Running away to a remote mountain cabin was supposed to be my escape from a suffocating life, not the beginning of a new one. When a storm forces me to take shelter with Cormac—a brooding, ruggedly handsome mountain man—I never expected to find myself drawn to his quiet strength and hidden vulnerability. In his rustic cabin, surrounded by towering pines and pristine wilderness, I discover a passion I never knew existed and a chance to become the woman I was always meant to be. But can a city girl and a solitary mountain dweller build a future together, or will our differences tear us apart?
Cormac:
After my military service, I chose isolation in the mountains to escape my demons. My carefully constructed solitude is shattered when Scarlett arrives during a thunderstorm, claiming my cabin as her rental. I should send her away, but something about her stubborn spirit and genuine heart breaks through walls I spent years building. As I show her my world of mountain springs and forest trails, I find myself revealing parts of me I thought were buried forever. She brings light to my darkness, but loving her means facing my past and trusting in a future I never thought possible. Can I risk everything to keep her in my arms, or am I too damaged to deserve her love?
