Protector of Misty Mountain

She walked into my world like she belongs here… but I don’t let people stay.Juniper
The mountains were supposed to be my escape—a place to rebuild, to breathe, to prove to myself that I could make it on my own. But from the moment I set foot in Misty Mountain, one mountain man has made it his mission to send me packing. Griffin Calloway. He’s all growls and glares, a grumpy wall of muscle wrapped in flannel, and about as welcoming as a snowstorm. He says I don’t belong out here. Maybe he’s right. But every time I turn around, he’s the one pulling me out of danger, keeping me warm, watching me like he’s the only thing standing between me and the wild.

I live alone for a reason. The wilderness doesn’t ask for explanations, doesn’t expect anything from me. But then she shows up—all curves and stubbornness, setting up camp in the one place I swore to keep untouched. Juniper Blake is sunshine where there should be silence, too soft and young for a life this hard, too damn tempting for a man who’s spent years keeping his distance. I tell myself she’ll leave. That I want her to. But when the cold closes in and the mountain turns unforgiving, she’s not the only one who needs saving. And for the first time in years, I start to wonder if I’m the one who's been lost all along.
