Soaked with the Mountain Man (Bitterroot Ridge Search and Rescue)

Every summer has its rules. No strings. No promises. No falling.

Elliot Burns spends his summers the same way every year—at his uncle’s fishing lodge in Bitterroot Ridge, working with his hands, swimming in cold mountain water, and pretending his real life back in Spokane doesn’t feel empty. Teaching phys ed pays the bills. The mountains keep him sane.

Until Patricia “Pat” Lyndon shows up.

Pat is all curves, confidence, and a throaty laugh that turns heads wherever she goes. Everyone flirts with her. She enjoys it. But when the heat lingers after sunset and the lake goes glassy and dark, it’s Elliot she meets—night after night.

Cooling off turns into stolen touches. Moonlit swims turn into something hotter. And the line between “just summer” and forever starts to blur.

When the season ends, Elliot tells himself he can walk away. Back to his job. Back to his routine. Back to a life without her. But some summers don’t let you leave unchanged.

Soaked with the Mountain Man is a short, steamy instalove romance featuring a curvy, irresistible heroine, a lake-loving mountain man, sizzling summer nights, and a fling that refuses to stay temporary. No cheating. No cliffhangers. Guaranteed HEA.
