A Mountain Man's Christmas
Scarlett
I’m here to study the elusive Kringle comet that's set to make its appearance on Christmas Eve, not share a cabin with a grump in flannel.
Elias Reed was my childhood crush—the boy who vanished into the woods and never looked back. Now he’s very much a man...and thanks to my meddling mother, we’re stuck under the same roof. Snowed in with no escape and one bed too few.
He doesn’t want me here. I don’t want the distraction. But the longer we’re trapped together, the more I remember exactly why I used to follow him everywhere.
I came for the stars. I wasn’t supposed to fall for the mountain man beneath them.

Elias
I built a life out here to be left alone. No noise, no people, no damn surprises.
Then she shows up—Scarlett Hayes, all grown up and filled with attitude and ambition, dragging with her stargazing gear and memories I’ve spent years trying to forget.
She doesn’t belong in this world. And I sure as hell don’t belong in hers.
But she’s everywhere. In my cabin. In my space. In my head.
And just like that comet she’s chasing, she lights up the dark and makes me want things I swore I didn’t need.
She’s only here for a week. But I already know that letting her go might be the one thing I won’t survive.
