Holiday Romance with the Mountain Man: A Steamy Instalove Christmas Romance (Rosewood Ridge Christmas)
About
Grumpy mountain man. Small-town Christmas romance. A sheltered virgin heroine discovering love for the first time.
When I moved to Rosewood Ridge, I was chasing freedom—escape from overprotective parents, strict rules, and a life that never quite fit.
I didn’t expect to find him on my very first day.
Roman is the definition of a brooding mountain man hero—silent, guarded, and devastatingly handsome. The kind of man who lifts a Christmas tree like it weighs nothing… then quietly steals your heart while you’re still catching your breath.
He helps me settle into my inherited cabin.
Stays for lunch.
Cooks me dinner.
Holds my hand in a room full of strangers like I already belong to him.
And suddenly every first I’ve never had—every nervous touch, every breathless moment—belongs to the grumpy man across the street.
At twenty-three, I’m a completely inexperienced heroine with a lifetime of rules behind me and a world of feelings I’m just beginning to explore. Roman was never looking for love. He swore he was better off alone.
But the way he looks at me says something different.
Like I’m the missing piece he never expected to find.
And when the snow starts falling and the Christmas lights glow in my cabin window, I realize something terrifying and wonderful at the same time—
I’m not just falling for my brooding neighbor.
I’ve already found my home.
