David — Dakota Rebel

That's why I like it out here in the woods — quiet, simple, and far from anyone who might try to get too close.But now someone's targeting my family, setting fires around Montgomery Valley, and I'm being forced out of my comfort zone whether I like it or not. We're not the kind of family that runs from a fight.Then Claudia Phillips shows up. She's sharp, stubborn, and so damn sure she's in charge of this investigation. I was ready to hate her.Instead, I can't stop looking at her. Or listening to her. Or thinking about what it would be like if I finally stepped out of these woods... for her.But what would a woman like Claudia want with a guy like me?A slow-burn, grumpy/sunshine romance filled with family loyalty, sizzling tension, and a fierce heroine who meets her match in the one man who swore he'd never need anyone. Perfect for readers who love strong heroines, brooding mountain men, and a dash of danger.
