Claiming His Mountain Bride
Madison Faye - 2018
My cabin. My rules. And she’s my woman – she just doesn’t know it yet. I left civilization and my demons a long time ago, seeking solitude up on Blackthorn Mountain. Just one ex-Marine, a remote cabin, and the wilderness, with no distractions. But then she turns up, blowing in with a winter’s blizzard like a very f**king big distraction. Blonde, beautiful, and mouthy as all hell, even when I save her from freezing that sweet little butt off. A rough mountain man like me should want nothing to do with a rich city girl like Katrina. Except one look at her sweet, tempting curves, and one taste of those sassy, pouty lips, and I want everything to do with her. I saved her from freezing, but maybe it’s her who’s going to save my frozen heart. We’re trapped up here for the storm, locked in a cabin with only the heat between us to keep us warm. Her wealthy, city family thinks they can marry her off to some rich little sh*t. But they’re very wrong. My mountain. My cabin. My woman. I’ll make Katrina my bride, and I’ll be d*mned if I let them take her from me. Heads up - I’ve gone totally off the rails with this one. This book is pure, unfiltered, growly-alpha-claims-his-woman smut at it’s finest. It’s sweet, it’s filthy, and it’s completely ridiculous. You’re probably going to love it ;). Safe, no cheating, and HEA guaranteed. For a limited time, this new release edition contains additional content for further reader enjoyment, as a thank you for your support.
