Protected by the Surly Carpenter (Wolfe Mountain Men #5)

Be careful in the deep forest.

You might be charmed by the love of your life.

Just as Im cornered by friends of the last person I ever want to see again, a wall of muscles in a black t-shirt glides between us to shield me.

Perfect timing. And perfectly gorgeous.

Clark offers to act as my boyfriend and drive me home after my shift. At first glance, he seems like a grump, a hardass, and a total loner.

Then he smiles at me. And my entire world shifts.

Hes wildly sexy, with a quiet confidence as he steps up again and again to make sure that Im safe. Hes not shy about talking about the future, although I cant plan that far ahead until Im no longer being followed.

Everything good in my life has always been taken from me. Yet this beast of an older man is different. I want to believe our instant connection is real. That we belong together.

And that his obsession with protecting me has a chance of becoming permanent.
