The story

She’s trouble wrapped in sunshine. And I’ll break every rule to have her.

They call me The Fortress. Grumpy. Broody. Hard as stone. I built my reputation on keeping people out, and I’ve never let anyone get close enough to tear me down.

Until her. My ex’s little sister. Sunshine in boots with a smile that tempts me to break every rule I’ve lived by. She’s sweet where I’m rough, light where I’m shadows, and I can’t stop wanting her.

Every smile makes me weak. Every look makes me hungry. And every time we’re alone, I want to pin her against the wall and show her exactly what happens when you tempt a mountain man who doesn’t know how to let go.

The town will talk. Lines will be crossed. Hearts will break. But none of it matters when she’s in my arms, begging for more.

She was supposed to be off-limits. Now she’s mine to take, mine to ruin, and mine to keep.

Read the first pages

From Chapter 1

Ridge, the man Hard Timber calls The Fortress, spots a woman across his bar. Then she turns around.

While I’d been dealing with the asshole playing the podcast, a woman had entered the bar. I glanced over at where she was bent over one of the low round tables near the front of the room. Dark brown hair flowed down her back, so long it almost reached her ass. Snug jeans wrapped around her thick hips, accentuating every curve. She was exactly my type, and I was in the mood for a major distraction.

It was late afternoon, at least an hour before the after-work happy hour crowd would come in. That meant the only server I had working was on break. Most folks came to the bar to order, but this woman didn’t seem to be in any hurry. I caught a glimpse of her profile. Attraction simmered low in my gut.

“I’ll be back in a sec,” I said in Thatcher’s general direction before rounding the bar and heading her way.

When I’d almost reached her, she turned around. My lungs froze solid. I recognized that face… green eyes the color of sea-foam, the scattering of freckles across her nose.

“Ridge Backstrom.” She thrust her hand toward me. “You remember me? Gillian Sonder. You used to date my sister.”

Instinct had me reaching for her hand before I thought about it. Heat traveled up my arm from where we touched. “Gillian. I heard you moved back a while ago.”

She pulled her hand back like touching me had been a mistake. “That’s right. I’m working at town hall.”

I’d heard that too. “I haven’t seen you around.”

A smile stretched across her lips. Lips that looked a hell of a lot fuller and softer than the last time I’d seen her. “That’s probably because I’ve been avoiding you.”

“Well, I appreciate your honesty. Any particular reason why?” I wasn’t the kind of guy who gave a flying fuck whether people liked me or not, but she had me curious.

“You almost ruined my sister’s life, for one.” She cocked her head, watching me like she was trying to get a reaction.
