Aaron's Claim on Gallant Mountain

Cheri heads to Gallant Mountain to check on her best friend, more annoyed than afraid, even with a mafia-adjacent family pushing her toward an arranged marriage.

Four older brothers taught her how to take care of herself, yet the towering, scowling man who meets her at the foot of the driveway still knocks every other thought out of her head.

Aaron gets an alert about an intruder and goes out himself, since Adrian is already at Andrew’s cabin dealing with trouble at their family business, JNG.

He expects a lost hunter, not a short, curvy, dark-haired woman dragging an enormous suitcase.

One look at her, and he no longer wants her off the property—he wants her over his shoulder and his.
