I promised to protect her brother. She makes me want to protect her entire world.

Silas

Life is simple and steady until Beth walks into the lumber yard. She's gorgeous, fierce, and ready to tear down anyone who might hurt her brother Jesse, the rookie I've been assigned to mentor.

Beth and Jesse are starting over in Timber Peak Valley after losing their parents, and the last thing she needs is some gruff lumberjack making promises he might not be able to keep. But the second I look at her, I see forever. And I'll be damned if I let anything happen to her or the family she's got left.

The problem is, Beth's walls are higher than the mountains surrounding our town. Getting through them won't be easy, but she's worth every bit of effort it's going to take.

Because she's mine. She just doesn't know it yet.

Marked by the Brooding Mountain Man is a short and steamy instalove romance, set in the small mountain town of Timber Peak Valley and featuring a protective lumberjack. No cheating and no cliffhangers, just a guaranteed and hot HEA with a mountain man who'll do anything for the woman he loves. This one is meant to be read in one hour or less.
