[Heartland Heroes: King Mountain 05] • Rugged Courage

One giant ex-military mountain man tracker + One curvy woman who needs a change of pace + One mountain lion on the prowl = An opposites-attract, rescuer, age-gap romance!

I track people who are lost. Or injured. When an emergency beacon is activated on King Mountain and our security team can't find them via drone, I hike to the location of the beacon to track and rescue. There have been sightings of at least one mountain lion in the area, so I haul a** to get there ASAP.

I expect to find remains. Instead, I find a beautifully curvy and infuriating woman.

She says she doesn't need help, but when I tell her about the mountain lion, she reconsiders. She says she'll let me stay, as long as I don't bother her.

After a little whiskey and falling into each other's arms, something shifts deep in my soul. This woman is my opposite in so many ways, yet when we talk and I learn why she's up here alone, I'm drawn to her even more.

And then we run smack into the mountain lion. Sure as the air I breathe, I'm going to protect this woman.

I'm also going to make her my wife.
