Charming the Mountain Man
Book 2 of the Tamarack Ridge Romances series
A woman seeking a fresh start in mountain country meets a rugged local man whose self-sufficient life leaves little room for romance. Practical problems and repeated encounters make his help difficult to refuse, while his reserve makes it equally difficult to know what he wants from her. Small-town connections gradually transform an arrangement based on necessity into a relationship neither planned. Jeanette Lewis uses the mountain-man archetype for a clean contemporary romance about independence, belonging, and the surprising gentleness hidden beneath a hero built for rough country.
