Owned In Misty Mountain by Imani Jay

When Mike Costa left Misty Mountain to join the military, Shanay Williams was just a kid. Now, years later, he’s back after retiring, expecting peace, quiet, and a fresh start. What he doesn’t expect is for Shanay to be all grown up. What he really doesn’t expect is for her to get under his skin instantly. She’s too young, too tempting, too damn off-limits. But Misty Mountain is small. And Shanay is everywhere. As the town librarian, she’s right in the center of everything—including the library renovation project that puts Mike in her orbit day after day. She teases him just to see him scowl. He grumbles but still fixes things she never asked him to. The tension between them is impossible to ignore. Mike tells himself he’s too old, too rough, too set in his ways for a woman like her. Shanay’s done waiting for him to realize he’s exactly what she needs. The town’s already placing bets on when he’ll break. And when he does? He’s never letting her go.
