Schooled By The Mountain Man (Paperback)

Schooled By The Mountain Man (Paperback)

He was the older brother she wasn’t supposed to notice. Now he’s the lakeside mountain man who can’t stop noticing her.

Tessa never planned to return to her family’s crumbling lake cabin in Cady Springs -- especially not to fix it up herself. But the chance to sell it is too tempting to pass up ... until she realizes who lives next door.

Liam Rowe. Her childhood crush. Her friend’s too-hot older brother.

Once untouchable, Liam is now rugged, capable, and maddeningly helpful -- with hands that know their way around a cabin and eyes that somehow see right through her. From collapsing porches to unexpected wildlife, Tessa finds herself relying on Liam often. And the more time they spend together, the harder it is to ignore the sparks.

She came back to sell the cabin, not fall for the man next door.
She came to let go of the past. But her old adolescent crush might just be her future.

Liam didn’t expect the girl from next door to reappear as a full-grown, do-it-herself beauty. He’s content keeping to himself ... until she crashes into his world with her stubborn independence and that curve-hugging toolbelt.

She’s just passing through. But when sparks fly between them, can a summer of sawdust and second chances turn into something built to last?

Get ready to fall hard. This story is part of the Mountain Man Summer series -- a multi-author event packed with heat, heart, and rugged heroes.

She came to sell the past. He made her want a future.

When Tessa (h) returns to her family's rundown cabin in the mountains, she's just trying to clear debt and move on. She doesn’t expect the place to be a wreck or to find Liam (H), her childhood crush, living next door, all grown up and impossible to ignore. What starts with power tools and pest control turns into something a lot harder to resist.

Liam is solid, quiet, and carrying grief he never talks about. He doesn't trust easily, but Tessa’s persistence and warmth begin to break through. As they rebuild the broken-down cabin, old memories turn into something real, and new desires come to the surface. She brings light to his loss. He gives her the steady ground she’s never had.

Their heat sizzles, but it’s the emotional weight that shifts everything. When Liam plans a night she’ll never forget, Tessa has to choose between the life she knew and the one that could be. She doesn’t just fall for him, she steps into a new version of herself. And in the end, she doesn't sell her past. She builds a life from it.

Tessa evolves from a self-doubting woman burdened by responsibilities into someone confident in her choices and ready to take control of her future. Liam moves from a guarded man shaped by grief to someone open to love and willing to build something lasting. Their relationship shifts from distant familiarity to deep emotional intimacy, grounded in mutual respect and shared vulnerability.

A steamy, small town, second chance, grumpy sunshine, mountain man romance, exploring love, desire, healing from loss, personal growth, belonging, self-worth, homecoming, emotional vulnerability, commitment, and transformation. It's about love that grows from shared scars, strength found in stillness, and what happens when you stop running and start choosing.
