Recluse Lumberjack Heart

She doesn’t know what she signed up for. But neither do I.

Wild Peak was supposed to be my chance to disappear.

Texas is a thousand miles behind me. So is the woman I almost married, the brother who betrayed me, and the parents who told me to forgive and forget. Out here, the trees don’t ask questions. The cabin, my ax, and the peace of solitude is mine… until Gabe Jackson assigns me a too-young new ranch hand to oversee my work on the ranch.

Paige Thomas. Twenty-nine. Cowgirl boots, dirt under her nails, and a mouth that’s been running circles around me since my first day. I prefer to work alone and remind her of that fact–daily.

But when my past comes knocking, Paige steps in, without asking, and declares that I’m her man. Taking my back and showing more care than my own family has in the last decade. Now we’re stuck lying to my sick mother, who wants nothing more than to heal the wounds of the past. All while pretending the siren next to me isn’t all my traitorous mind focuses on.

This should annoy me. It doesn’t. What annoys me is the fact that pretending is getting easier by the day, and damn near impossible at night.

I vowed never to let anyone close again. To live my simple life. But now I’ve had a taste of what more looks like…and I don’t think I can let the promise of what could be go.
