The Mountain Man’s Forest Heart by Tiffany Bloom

Her cabin burned down. Now she’s stuck with me. I’ve got one weekend to convince her she’s never going back. JAKE I didn’t sign up for company. I sure as hell didn’t sign up for a curvy, wide-eyed city girl who makes my heart trip and my body ache. Her cabin burned down at the worst possible time, and the retreat shuffled her into mine for the weekend. Just me and her. One cozy little cabin. Too many hours… and not nearly enough distance between us. Now she’s here, barefoot in my kitchen, making coffee like she belongs, smiling like she’s got no idea she’s wrecking my carefully controlled world. I told myself I wouldn’t get attached. That I’d be polite, let her pass through, and go back to my quiet life by Monday. Except the second I saw her, something shifted. Now I’m taking her to my favorite hidden overlook, showing her the parts of this mountain no outsider ever gets to see, pressing my mouth to hers under the stars while the wind carries her soft little gasps to the trees. She thinks she’s here for a weekend reset. A quick break from the chaos of her life. But I already know the truth. She belongs here. She belongs with me. And by the time she packs up to leave, she’ll be mine. Not just for the weekend. Forever. HANNAH I came to the mountains to escape. A burnout job. A boss who told me to “take a breather.” A life that felt like it was swallowing me whole. The cabin retreat was supposed to be quiet and private, until mine burned to the ground. Now I’m stranded with a broody, unfairly gorgeous mountain man who has no interest in being my host. Except every time I turn around, Jake’s there, quietly watching, quietly caring. He takes me hiking when I want to hide, feeds me when I forget to eat, kisses me like he’s been waiting years for this exact moment. This was meant to be a reset. A temporary pause before going back to the life I left behind. But Jake makes me feel like I’m more than just a body filling space. Like I’m more than my work or my stress. Like I matter. His protective growls tell me I’m safe here. His touches tell me I’m wanted. His eyes tell me I’ll never be alone again if I’m brave enough to stay. One weekend. That’s all it takes for my whole world to shift. Now I’m not sure I’ll make it back to the city because my heart already belongs on this mountain. Right next to him. What’s inside this book?
