Rugged Mountain Man

Can two broken hearts become whole together?

Cormac
After my divorce, I went running into the mountains and I never looked back. I’ve been licking my wounds for twenty years. Now that I’m in my late 40s, I’m too far removed from the world to become a functioning member of society again and I know damn well I’ll die alone as a cranky old bachelor.
Until I discover a woman in my cabin. In my bed.
Mika Hillard is just as antisocial as I am. We’re practically two feral mutts, circling each other, starved for affection.
With the snow piling up outside, it seems we’re going to be stuck together for a while. And for the first time in my life, I’m grateful for the company.

I want nothing to do with Cormac Peltier. When I found his empty cabin, I just needed a place to sleep for the night amid the biting cold.
But now I’m snowed in with this rugged bear of a man and his vocabulary is painfully lacking – consisting of nothing more than grunts and monosyllabic words.
After my abusive ex, I’m not interested in letting another man get anywhere near me.

Despite my best efforts to keep my distance, Cormac’s gruff demeanor begins to thaw the ice around my bruised heart. And when an accident puts him in the hospital, I come face to face with the fact that I’m starting to catch feelings for this grumpy reclusive mountain man.
