A steamy Scottish mountain man romance featuring a tortured military hero, forced proximity, and a love worth fighting for.
I built walls to keep the world out. She tore them down with a single smile.
Three years ago, I lost my entire military team in an ambush I should have seen coming. Now I live alone in the Scottish Highlands, crafting furniture and avoiding human contact. It’s not much of a life, but it’s safe. Predictable. No one else gets hurt because of my mistakes.
Then Maisie Campbell crashes her car in my ditch during the worst blizzard in decades.
She’s everything I can’t afford to want: brilliant, brave, and beautiful enough to make me forget why I chose isolation. Her career is in ruins, her confidence shattered, but she sees beauty everywhere—including in a damaged ex-soldier who’s forgotten how to trust himself.
When a mountain rescue forces us to work together, the walls I’ve spent three years building start to crumble. But loving Maisie means risking everything I’ve worked to protect. And when a career opportunity in Norway threatens to take her away, I have to decide: fight for the woman who’s brought light back into my darkness, or let her go before I destroy the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
Some storms bring destruction. This one brought salvation—if I’m brave enough to claim it.
