Escaping from a toxic husband, a woman finds refuge next door to a grumpy mountain man.
Elle thought the mountains would be her refuge, a place to escape the turmoil of her marriage. She never expects her sanctuary to be ruined by a grumpy mountain man.
When Joe encounters a tourist on a dangerous trail, he sets out to make sure she returns safely. He’s big, bearded, and gruff, but her fear makes him want to gentle his ways, and the bruises on her raise all his protective instincts.
A sudden snow storm and a broken heater bring him to her cabin doorstep. Only Joe isn’t as scary as she first thought. Beneath his rugged exterior hides a kind and caring soul, someone who helps her through her panic attacks and offers to show her the beauty of the outdoors. He’s unlike anyone she’s ever met, but the timing is all wrong. She’s still married.
And her husband will stop at nothing to find her.
Featuring underappreciated women receiving help from male neighbors who are gentle caregivers, The Neighborly Repairs series contains standalone short reads with steam.
