Mountain Man’s Spring Sweetheart: A Steamy Instalove Romance (Wildwood Valley Bloom Book 2)

Some women spend their lives taking care of everyone else. Some men decide it’s their turn.

I TAKE CARE OF WHAT’S MINE. My life is simple—land, livestock, long days, and work that doesn’t ask questions. Steady. Certain. Uncomplicated. I don’t interfere. Don’t step in where I’m not needed.

Until I see her standing on her feet too long, giving everything she has away.

SHE DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO STOP. She knows everyone’s order before they ask. Coffee. Eggs. Tables. Smiles. Always watching. Always giving. Never taking. That’s who she’s been her whole life.

Too bad I don’t accept that.

TOGETHER, EVERYTHING SHIFTS.

I pull out a stool and tell her to sit.

Not a question.
Not a suggestion.

Because the second I look at her, I know—

She’s been overlooked too long.

She tries to brush it off.
Give me the easy answers.
Keep everything light and surface-level.

I don’t let her.

I ask.
And I wait.

Until she gives me something real.

Because I see it—

The way she makes herself smaller.
Quieter. Easier.

Like she’s used to fitting into whatever space is left.

I don’t want her smaller.

I want her exactly as she is.

And the more time she spends with me… the more she starts to understand—

She doesn’t have to earn a place.

She already has one.

With me.

ONE MOUNTAIN MAN. ONE WOMAN WHO’S ALWAYS GIVEN EVERYTHING. ONE CLAIM I WON’T BACK DOWN FROM.

She tells herself this is new.
Temporary.
Something she shouldn’t trust.

She’s wrong.

Because I don’t hesitate.
Don’t second-guess.

And when I decide someone is mine—

I show up.

Every time.
Every day.
Exactly the way she’s always done for everyone else.

Only now…

It’s her turn.

And I’m not going anywhere.
