Burly and Protective (The Men of Silver Pine Ridge #5)

One quiet and protective mountain man + One curvy woman on the run + One hidden cabin where he must keep her safe at all costs = A scorching second-chance romance!

Its supposed to be a one-week protective detail. Take the asset to one of the hidden safe houses, hole up for a week until some very dangerous men are neutralized. Its nothing I havent done before and I know it will be a quiet week.

Only I discover the asset is Lucy, the woman who was the love of my life and whose heart I broke. I was too afraid to ever explain why or what happened when I was deployed, but leaving her was the single worst decision of my life.

Fk. Me.

I dont know how my heart or soul is going to survive a week of isolation with her, but I wouldnt let anyone take my place on this assignment. All I want is to pull her curvy body in my arms and never, ever let her go again.

When I break protocol and take her to a hidden hot spring, I dont expect skinny dipping. I really dont expect her to close the distance between us, or the scorching intimacy that follows.

The longer were here, the more we talk and unravel the knot of what happened back then, and catch up on how we both came to be here today. Lucy is the only woman Ive ever loved, and Ive never stopped loving her, but convincing her to give me a second-chance is the most important thing in the world, next to protecting her from the men who are after her. But will she let me prove to her Im a different, better man now than I was in the past?
