Mountain Man Guardian (Mountain Men of Pineville #7)

Wounded during an undercover assignment, he returns home after two decades to heal, only to discover a second chance with his first love.

CHASE LONDON

I’ve lived and breathed duty to my country my entire adult life.

But times change, especially when a bullet with my name on it narrowly misses my spinal cord.

I’m back home and it’s time for a new purpose.

The name on the referral from my doc hits me harder than any bullet ever could.

I mean, how many Astrids can there be in Pineville?

ASTRID JOHANSSON

My days are filled with patients and much-needed patience to deal with my soon-to-be teenage son.

And my nights are full of family, friends, and now a new home on Pineville Mountain.

Then the surprise of a lifetime shows up in a burly, broody blast from my past…the man I gifted my virginity to and broke my heart all in the same week.

When lightning strikes twice on a stormy night nearly twenty years later, will I be able to finally forgive him when I learn the truth of his disappearance all those years ago?

And will I be able to believe him when he tells me he wants a shot at forever?
