Burning for the Mountain Man

Whispered Echoes Season 2 - A Wounded Mountain Man Series

De: Lilah Hart

She's a virgin seeking opportunity. He's a scarred recluse seeking solitude.

I came to Wildwood Valley to escape.

My overbearing family. My uncertain future. The suffocating feeling that life was passing me by while I studied for a real estate license in a town with no opportunities.

I definitely didn't come here to fall for a broken mountain man.

But then my heater breaks, and Wilder walks into my hotel room while I'm wearing nothing but a towel. One look at those dark eyes, that scarred body, those capable hands—and I'm done for.

He thinks his scars make him unworthy. The burns on his shoulder. The hearing he lost in the explosion. The nightmares that keep him isolated in a cabin high in the mountains.

He's wrong.

I see past the damage to the man underneath. Strong. Kind. Haunted by demons he won't let anyone help him fight.

When he shows me his cabin with its wall of windows overlooking the valley, I make him an offer he can't refuse. My virginity. My trust. My heart—if he's brave enough to take it.

He thinks one night will be enough. That I'll go back to Georgia and forget about the grumpy handyman who fixed more than just my heater.

But I'm not going anywhere.

And I'm about to show him that sometimes the most broken things are exactly what we need to feel whole.

Mountains keep their secrets, but can love heal their scars?

The untamed beauty of the mountains is no match for these scarred men. Fate brings women who hold the power to mend their wounds, but first, they must navigate the rugged terrain of their pasts. As they confront their scars, they discover that true healing can only come from one thing… love.

Each story in ‘Whispered Echoes’ delves into the lives of our wounded heroes and the courageous women who dare to love them.
