Consumed by the Forbidden Mountain Man

Whisper Vale's Harvest Festival means hayrides, bonfires, and the whole damn town pretending they're not watching my every move since my divorce. I don't need their pity. I need to be left alone.

Then my buddy asks me to keep an eye on his little sister while she's in town for the festival.

Ivy Castellano is not little. She's grown, gorgeous, and has a mouth on her that makes me forget every reason I should keep my distance. She's also twelve years younger than me, freshly quit from a job that was killing her soul, and crashing in the cabin next to mine for the entire two-week festival.

I promised her brother I'd look out for her. Nothing more.

But watching her dance at the bonfire with firelight catching her curves, tasting her entry in the pie competition, finding her on my porch every morning with two coffees and that devastating smile? My good intentions are burning down faster than the autumn leaves.

She's forbidden. Off-limits. My best friend's baby sister.

She's also the only woman who's made me feel alive since everything fell apart.

One taste. That's all it takes. And I'm done pretending I don't want the whole damn thing.

Consumed By The Forbidden Mountain Man is a scorching autumn romance featuring a brooding mountain man, his best friend's irresistible sister, and a small-town Harvest Festival that throws them together with delicious consequences. Guaranteed HEA with no cheating.
