One look at the curvy shelter worker when I bring her the lost puppy I found, and I'm done for.

When I find a puppy shivering by the side of the road, I go straight to the Timber Peak Valley animal shelter. The woman who opens the door stops me cold. Soft curves, a bright smile, and eyes that make me forget my own name.

Then the storm hits while we're still inside. By the time it's over, the shelter's damaged, but I'm not walking away from her.

I'll fix the roof, the fences, whatever it takes.

And when I'm done, she'll know she's mine.

Marked by the Brooding Mountain Man is a short and steamy instalove romance, set in the small mountain town of Timber Peak Valley, featuring a protective lumberjack mountain man. No cheating and no cliffhangers, just a guaranteed and hot HEA with a mountain man who'll do anything for the woman he loves. This one is meant to be read in one hour or less.
