BLURB

Taking a break from dating seems like the ultimate plan—just me, my wrestling podcast, and zero romantic drama. Then I meet Cooper Grind, the tight end for the Silverbacks. He’s adorkable, hilarious, and completely inexperienced when it comes to love. And I mean in every way.

So when he proposes a wild scheme—a pretend relationship to keep the female attention at bay—I can’t help but agree.

As we dive into our new “couple” status, I’m swept up in the exciting world of professional football. Although our dates are fake, Cooper makes an adventure out of every moment we spend together. For an inexperienced guy, he’s surprisingly convincing in his boyfriend role.

When stolen glances and playful banter spark something deeper, I realize I just might be in over my head. Because the more we fake it, the more real it starts to feel.

Despite facing my best defensive efforts, this superstar rookie is smashing through my reservations with alarming precision.

And now our charade is turning into something I never expected—the purest fake.

I was living my dream… until it turned into a nightmare. My little cabin in the woods of Vermont was everything I’d hoped it would be. Quiet. Rustic. Beautiful. On top of that, my only neighbor was the most intriguing man I’d met in years. Then one night my cozy sanctuary was invaded, and I ended up facing off against a man who tried to kill On the run, injured and scared, I fled my house in search of protection. Even in the midst of my terror, there wasn’t a question of who I would go to. Knox. My neighbor-turned-friend. A man I would have considered dating had things been different. And highly skilled from his years in the Army. As I hoped, Knox didn’t hesitate to come to my aid. But the man who came after me is still out there, and until he’s caught, I’ll never be safe. The last thing I was expecting was violence right outside my back door. After years in the Army, of memories I’d rather forget, I came back to Vermont in search of a new beginning. In the time I’ve been here, I found even more than I ever imagined. A home. A business. A team. And the purpose I’d been missing. My life was busy, and I liked it that way. Maybe I wasn’t happy, but I was content. As my friends all coupled up, sometimes I thought about a relationship. But the only woman I’d consider opening up to has never given a sign she wants anything more than friendship. Do I still think about Lark and wonder? Absolutely. Then she comes to me for help, hurt, terrified, bleeding, and everything is thrown into stark clarity. I’ll do anything to protect her. To make her happy. To see her gorgeous smile again. And now I know friendship isn’t enough anymore. Mountain Protector is the second book in the Green Mountain Guardians series. It has a protective alpha hero, a smart and strong heroine, a team of Special Ops veterans, lots of twists and turns, action and danger, forced proximity, and plenty of sweet and steamy moments, all set during the Christmas season! You’ll find plenty of holiday romance here! Happily-ever-after guaranteed! (can be read as a standalone)

When the toast is done, he turns to me. “Thank you, songbird.” Cupping his cheek, I lean over to capture his lips. When we pull apart, he looks at me with a vulnerability I haven’t seen before. He’s not Knox, the strong and confident Special Forces protector who can handle anything. This is the Knox he keeps hidden from most people. The part he protects to keep from getting hurt. And he’s trusting me with it. My heart squeezes. I love him. The realization isn’t slow like I’d thought it would be; a tide rolling in. It’s a tidal wave. Engulfing me. Leaving no uncertainty. Maybe it’s too soon, but I don’t care. I love him. “Lark, are you alright?” Knox squeezes my hand gently. “Do you want to leave?” “No.” I smile at him, feeling lighter and happier than I can ever remember. “This is perfect.”
