Finding Love

No one understood why I wanted to purchase the old abandoned mining town hidden in the Smoky Mountains. I’ve been up here for nearly a year now, working out my anger as I tear down old structures and clear the way for new construction.

Still can’t seem to get rid of the demons that chased me all the way up the mountain in the first place.

When Ari bursts into my life in the most unexpected way, I’m not prepared for the feelings she brings out in me. The curvy woman is far too young and sweet for a jaded ex-Army Ranger who has barely recovered from his time overseas.

She hurt her leg, and I’m obligated to treat her before sending her on her way. It’s my land, after all. The longer Ari is under my roof, the more I want to keep her.

I don’t know if I can let the little ray of sunshine go once she’s healed. I may need to keep her forever.
