Strong and Steady by Khloe Summers

Can this grumpy mountain man find love with a single mom?

Peyton
Some men should be left alone.
Atlas is one of them.
He’s grumpy, selfish, and bossy as hell.
I have kids to raise, I don’t need that drama.
Trouble is, he works cheap and my house needs a lot of repairs.
I should keep my eyes off his strong shoulders and gargantuan frame,
But telling myself no only makes me want him more.

Atlas
You want to be happy in life, follow three simple rules.
No kids
No wife
No family
Also helps if you don’t talk much.
Keeps the people away
If I didn’t need the money so badly, I wouldn’t even be here.
This woman is temptation.
That’s not a good thing for a man like me.
I need to hold strong to my rules.
Stay on my path.
Yet here I am eating pie in her kitchen, aching for her skin, wondering where the hell i went wrong.
