Mountain Man's Mail Order Runaway

She ran from a life she never chose and straight into the arms of a man who never expected her. He didn’t ask for a bride, but now that she’s here, he’s never letting her go.

I escaped in the middle of the night with nothing but a fake name, a one-way ticket, and a promise of tacos.

No, seriously—tacos.

I didn’t know who I could trust. I just knew I had to run. From the compound. From the leaders who watched me like I was next. From the life that had already taken too much.

So when a man named Logan said he’d keep me safe, I believed him.

Only… he didn’t send those messages.

He didn’t expect a bride to show up on his doorstep, half-starved and ready to collapse. And he definitely didn’t expect to feel anything when I did.

But I see it now—in the way he looks at me. In the way he holds me like I’m breakable and precious at the same time. He didn’t ask for a wife.

But that won’t stop him from keeping me.
