Mountain Man Protector by Debra Elise

Can I convince the curvy, relationship-avoiding therapist that what I’m offering goes beyond duty?

Addison London

One steamy night.

Two pinky promises.

Three weeks later, everything changes.

Ridge Beauchamp

After retiring from the Army, The Triple R Lodge became my life’s purpose. And it’s where two of my former unit brothers became my family. But it’s the last place I thought I’d find the impossible—love.

Addison and I had a one-night pact, but that didn’t stop me from thinking about her most nights—okay, every night. Regret rode me hard, but she didn’t want to be found. And then I did.

Now she’s part of our mission, and the sparks reignite. No sooner do we become friends-with-benefits that a life-changing event quickly follows.

She’s mine, and my heart is hers for the taking.

This is a he falls first, retired military silver fox and a curvy, younger therapist heroine in a second chance, fast-paced, steamy-short novella with a guaranteed HEA.
