Mountain Man Defender: A Grumpy, Ex Military, Curvy Woman, Steamy, Short Reads Romance

Will the gruff, former Ranger finally accept I’m not letting our differences, or his equally grumpy guard dog, turn me away?

LARS
I’m the last single man standing on Pineville Mountain, or at least that’s what it feels like, and that’s just fine by me.
Then she shows up.
Smart, and smart-mouthed.
Way out of my league.
And stunning to the point I can barely function when I’m around her.
Well, parts of me function, and that’s the problem.
At least she’ll be gone soon.

DYLAN
After a year of "finding myself," I'm back home for my twin sister's wedding.
But before the ceremony, she asks me for a step into the role of guest services manager for The Triple R Lodge.
It’s just for a couple months, she says. Then I can be onto my next adventure.
Yet, what I didn't count on was the bearded, burly and sexy mountain of a man who frustrates and tempts me beyond measure.
Lars fights our connection with irritated grunts and silent moody stares.
He may not believe me, but I want him AND I’m no longer running.
Not when I’ve finally found love in the exact place I thought I had to leave to find my purpose in life, and love.

Can I prove to him that although we’re opposites in most things doesn’t mean we can’t have forever.

This is a retired military hero and a curvy, sassy younger heroine in an insta love, fast-paced, steamy-short novella with OTT vibes and a guaranteed HEA.
