A VERY MOUNTAIN MAN VALENTINE’S DAY
Rory:
It all started six months ago when I accidentally emailed the wrong person. From the first email, I was addicted.
Over the last six months, we’ve formed a connection. We became friends, sharing everything. From there, we became best friends, but now I’m hoping that, maybe, we could be something more.
Our emails have gone from nervous banter to fun to flirty, so it only made sense to me that we should take our relationship to the next level and finally meet each other in person.
Rhodes:
I was hooked on Rory from the very first email.
I've only fallen for her more in the last six months but I know that there's no way that she could love me. Not with my hulking size and the scars that run down the left side of my face and body.
When she shows up on my doorstep, I'm shocked.
Not because she looks like a curvy goddess, but because she doesn't seem disgusted by my appearance.
When Valentine's Day is over, will I be able to let her go back home?

PRE-ORDER here.

A VERY MOUNTAIN MAN HALLOWEEN
He’s my kidnapper...and my protector?
Magnolia:
It all started three months ago. That was when my restraining order was finally approved. Unfortunately, it hasn’t stopped my stalker from following me from one town to the next. Then I make a stop in Fallen Peak and my situation seems to go from bad to worse.
Graham:
I don’t know what drew me to the curvy blonde bombshell, but one look and I knew that she was meant to be mine.
When I clock the hooded figure following her, I react and kidnap her before they can hurt her.
Now I’ve got to convince my dream girl that she can trust me to keep her safe while unraveling the mystery of who is really after her.
Will Graham be able to slay Magnolia’s monsters this Halloween and convince her that she belongs with him?

A VERY MOUNTAIN MAN THANKSGIVING
He’s the man of her dreams, but she’s not who he thinks she is...
Myra:
It all started two weeks ago. I needed to leave town, but I had nowhere to go.
That’s when I stumbled on my roommate’s dating profile and saw the sweet messages some guy sent her. He invited her to come visit him and left his address.
So, I may have stolen her account and messaged him back that I was on my way.
It was only meant to be a few days, but once I meet Alder, I don’t want to let him go.
Alder:
When Myra shows up on my doorstep claiming to be the girl that I’ve been messaging online, I know that she’s lying but I don’t have it in me to turn the curvy girl away.
So instead, I invite her in and try to see how far she’s willing to go with all of this. Then something happens.
I start to fall for the lonely little liar.
Will Alder be able to let Myra go? Or will he have something special to be thankful for this Thanksgiving?

A VERY MOUNTAIN MAN CHRISTMAS
What happens when your pretend husband happens to be the man of your dreams?
Tilly:
It all started ten months ago. I had just gotten to Fallen Peak and met my new boss.
Ledger Miles.
He’d be the man of her dreams if he wasn’t such a jerk.
When the accident happens and she’s called to the hospital, she’s shocked to learn that Ledger doesn’t remember his life.
In fact, the only thing he is sure of, is that they’re married.
Ledger:
When Tilly first got to town, I knew that she was going to mess everything up.
I never wanted to settle down but ever since she’s got to town, I can’t stop thinking about what wedding ring would look best on her finger or how good her curvy figure would look if she was pregnant with my baby.
Maybe that’s why I assume she’s my wife when I first wake up in the hospital.
After a few days, my memories come back but I can’t seem to get the words out to admit that to Tilly.
Will Ledger be able to get the present that he wants this Christmas?

A VERY MOUNTAIN MAN NEW YEAR
A surprise pregnancy. A second chance to realize how right they are together.
Snow:
It all started five weeks ago. That’s when I had a one night stand with the hottest lumberjack that I’ve ever seen.
I thought that it would be fine. I would finally do something crazy before I settled into my boring life as an accountant.
Then I miss my period and all three pregnancy tests come back positive.
I’m kind of freaking out and I have no idea what to do next. The only thing that I do know, is that I need to track down that lumberjack and let him know that he’s about to be a daddy.
Wells:
When Snow shows up on his doorstep, he can’t wait to get her out of his house and his town. He knows that he can’t be in a relationship so maybe he’s a little harsh with her as he escorts her back to her car. He just doesn’t want to waste anymore of her time.
Then she tells him that she’s pregnant with his baby and everything changes.
Wells’ New Year’s resolution this year is to convince Snow to give him a second chance, but will he be able to make that come true?

Stephens, along with learning more about this book from the author, then add it to your bookshelf.  In honor of this emotional and sensual romance make sure to fill out the form below for the chance to win a digital copy of this book along with a $25 Amazon GC too!

Cabin Fever - Finding Love in the Wilderness...My latest book, Under the Northern Lights, is about Mallory Reynolds, a driven, passionate woman who is pursuing her dream of photographing wild animals in remote locations. On the way to her favorite spot in the Alaskan wilderness, the unthinkable happens—the engine on her plane stalls and she crashes. Mallory survives the crash only to find herself injured with limited supplies and no hope of returning home. Just when all seems lost, Michael Bradley, a mysterious mountain man, comes to her rescue.
Planning on being in the wild for just a couple of weeks, Mallory only brings a few important items with her into the wilderness—a gun for protection, survival gear, a limited amount of food, her cross necklace for her faith, and her most prized possession, her camera. After realizing that she’s going to be spending the entire winter in a secluded cabin with a stranger, she probably wishes she’d brought a few more items along with her. Things like a high-powered rifle, a chainsaw, a snow mobile, a lot more food, and even better—a satellite phone.

Mallory Reynolds is a driven woman fueled by her passion for photographing wild animals in remote locations. Every year she makes a trek deep into Alaska, but this time the unthinkable happens: she crash-lands after her plane stalls out in a storm. Injured, vulnerable, and threatened by the very creatures she loves, Mallory fears the worst—until she’s rescued by Michael Bradley, a mysterious mountain man living in self-imposed exile.
Mallory is grateful for Michael’s help but desperate to return home to let her family know she’s alive. Unfortunately, neither of them can leave Michael’s secluded cabin until spring. Mallory’s stuck with a stranger for months.
As Mallory recovers, a deep bond begins to form between the pair. Mallory is convinced that fate brought them together, but Michael is buried in his past, unable to move forward. Undaunted, Mallory tends to Michael’s heart as tenderly as he cared for her wounds—but will her love be enough to heal him?

EXCERPT:

We both heard a loud clatter outside. Michael instantly snapped to his feet, his face intently focused as he listened for further sounds of trouble; he had no human neighbors to speak of, so things were generally silent here.
Fearful curiosity was killing me, and I was dying to ask him if he knew what was out there, but I didn’t want to disrupt his concentration. And it turned out I didn’t need to ask. Seconds later, I heard the deep, resonant, unmistakable growl of a bear.
Michael turned my way, his expression serious. “Stay here.”
He grabbed his high-powered hunting rifle, and my heart started thudding. Was he nuts? If there was a hungry bear out there, we should be barricading the cabin, not going out into the wilderness. “What do you think you’re doing?”
Lips twisted in a frown, he told me, “All our food is out there, our meat. If I let the bear destroy it, we’ll have nothing to get us through the winter.”
I knew he was right, but still, I was terrified. “Okay … I’ll help.” I grabbed my gun and checked it for bullets. It wasn’t as powerful a rifle as Michael’s, but it might hurt the bear enough that it would change its mind about gorging on our food stash. Or it might just piss it off.
Studying my gun, Michael shook his head. “No, stay in here—guard the cabin.”
His answer made me frown. “The bulk of the food isn’t in here. There’s nothing to guard.”
His eyes softened then. “Yes … there is something to guard.”
My cheeks heated when I realized he meant me. “Be careful,” I whispered.
“Always am,” he stated; then he darted out the door.
Racing to the window, I peered outside, searching in vain for some sign of Michael or the bear. The moonlight wasn’t strong enough to illuminate much, and even though only candles were lit in the cabin, it was enough to wreck my night vision; I couldn’t see a damn thing out there. My nerves spiked, and my heart started racing. I felt like I was out there in the woods, possibly about to get mauled, and following Michael’s orders and staying put grew harder and harder with every second.
I strained my ears, listening for the bear since I couldn’t see it. Sounds of lumbering steps crashing through brush met my ear. Then I heard the dreadful sound of sharp claws raking down wood. With no electricity, freezers weren’t an option here. Michael stored his food the old-fashioned way, either drying it into jerky or curing it with salt. The prepared food was kept in his enclosed workshop, and while Michael had bear proofed the shop as much as possible, hungry bears were tenacious. With food being so close to its reach, the grizzly might not stop until it had ripped the door to shreds.
Knowing where the bear was outside calmed my nerves somewhat. I fingered my rifle, debating whether running out there would help Michael or hurt both of us. It was dark, and if Michael thought I was inside, he could shoot me just as easily as the bear. And verbally warning him would get the bear’s attention—attention I’d rather not have. No, it would be best to stay put and let Michael handle it. But still … that was hard to do.
I heard Michael shout then, yelling at the bear to leave. A gunshot rang through the night, startling small nocturnal animals and rattling the windowpanes. Another one followed shortly after, and fear trickled down my spine. Was that a warning shot? Or was the bear attacking?
Michael wasn’t shouting anymore, and the night was still, silent. Oh God, no … The ball of dread in my belly was too great to ignore, and I nearly tripped in my haste to get to the door. “Michael!” I screeched into the night as I flung the door wide.
A dark shape was suddenly right in front of me, and as I stared in shock, a gaping mouth of thick, sharp teeth opened, and a powerful roar pushed me back a step. I’d never been so close to a bear before, and my legs felt like water. I couldn’t move them, couldn’t move anything. My mind was trying to avoid the here and now by drifting off to happier times with my family, my friends. Death was once again staring me in the face, but even still, the part of me that was still cognizant of the present was awed and amazed by the ferocious beauty of the beast before me. There was a reason these creatures ruled the forest.
The bear rose up on its hind legs, visually warning me that it was bigger, stronger, and most likely hungrier. My eyes flashed to the various weapons it could use in an instant to end me—talonlike claws, ice pick–like teeth, or just its massive weight. All I had was a gun.
Thinking of my own weapon jostled me from my state of panic. Raising the barrel, I chambered a bullet and yelled at the bear to back off. It seemed a poor tactic at this point, but I didn’t really want to kill the animal. If I could scare it into submission, I’d take that as a win.
The bear, however, was unimpressed by my shouting. Landing heavily on its front feet, it began lumbering toward me. Damn it, I was going to have to shoot. And hope my gun did more than anger it. With shaking fingers, I lined up my shot. “Please go away,” I murmured, putting light pressure on the trigger.
Like it heard me, the bear suddenly looked to its left. It growled again and took a step back, away from the cabin. I heard Michael’s voice, and then a gunshot rang out in the night. The bear roared again, then seemed to realize it was outmatched. It turned and ran, its winter bulk vibrating with each thundering step.
I was still shaking as Michael stepped into view. Disengaging the gun, I dropped it on the ground and flew over to him. Before I knew it, my arms were around his neck, and I was pulling his firm body into mine. Thank God he was okay. Thank God I was okay.
“Oh my God, Michael,” I murmured into his shoulder, inhaling his woodsy scent. “That was terrifying. I thought for sure…”
Once I fully comprehended that I was squeezing the life out of him, I froze, every limb rigid with tension. I wasn’t sure if Michael would push me away or not, but then he surprised me by wrapping an arm around my waist and pulling me into him just as hard as I was holding him, maybe harder. As we held each other, the anxiety and fear started easing, and I was flooded with warmth; I’d never felt more at peace.
