My cat ran away into the woods as soon as I got to the cabin. I ran in there after him, only to find a tall, muscled mountain man had already saved my cat. I may be inexperienced and extremely sheltered, but I know sexy when I see it. We have this instant connection, despite not have anything in common. I know he feels it too. But he's fighting his feelings for me every step of the way. No matter. This is my new life, and I'm taking control. I'll prove to him that we'll work, that he can trust me, and that we can be happy together. KADE: I found the curvy goddess in the woods one day, searching for her ugly orange cat. I thought I made her up. There's no way such a pretty young thing is real. I end up following her back to her newly acquired cabin. She talks the whole way back, mostly to me, but sometimes to her cat, Morty. The girl talks to animals and lives in the forest. She’s practically Snow White. Adelyn is too young, too gorgeous, too innocent for the likes of me. I'll ruin her with my darkness. I'll suck up every last drop of her goodness until I wring her dry. And I can't do that. She deserves so much more than I have to offer. But, Adelyn has other ideas. It seems that I can't get rid of her, and as time goes on, I find I don't want to. Where I am stoic and silent, she is bubbly and talkative. Where I am bitter and jaded, she is kind and innocent. Where I am weak and closed off, she is strong yet vulnerable. We're opposites in every way, but I can't deny her for much longer. I only hope she doesn't hate me when she finds out about my past.
