Ice Hearted Mountain Man (Not Looking for Love Series)

Ice Hearted Mountain Man (Not Looking for Love Series) by Lilah Hart

A grumpy mountain man romance sparked by a Valentine’s Day meet-cute he never saw coming. I wasn’t looking for love. I’d watched it destroy my parents—two people who started out crazy about each other and ended up tearing each other apart piece by piece. By the time they were done, there was nothing left but wreckage and regret. I wasn’t making the same mistake. I moved to Wildwood Valley for the solitude. The silence. A life where no one got close enough to hurt me. I had my work, my cabin, my peace. That was enough. Then she walked into my construction trailer on Valentine’s Day and ruined everything. Gemma Ellis was warm where I was cold. Hopeful where I was bitter. She had plans for her life. Dreams for her future. And a smile that hit me like a punch to the chest. She was exactly the kind of woman I should’ve stayed far, far away from. But I couldn’t. Something about her got under my skin—the way she laughed at her own jokes, the way she called me out when I tried to push her away, the way she looked at me like I was worth saving. Even when I warned her not to bother. She made me want things I’d sworn I’d never want. Made me believe in things I’d convinced myself didn’t exist. One day. One tiny construction trailer. One woman brave enough to crack open a heart I’d frozen shut years ago. I told myself love was a trap. Gemma made me wonder if I’d been wrong about everything.
