After years of having this story taking space in my head, I decided to share it with the world. Gotta say, this writing gig is HARD. But with some time and grace, I’ll get it right.

Blurb

Hunter

She should be the last woman on Earth who I’m lusting after. Ariana would never speak to me again if she knew the truth. Add in that she doesn’t know who I really am, I should have stayed up on my mountain and never have stepped foot into her shop. My dog and I live a pretty good life.

That should be enough, right? But life is funny that way—

it’s more than her coffee beans that keeps bringing me back.

Ariana

The only thing worse than knowing you can’t have what you want is having to watch his backside walk away. Or is that the good part? There are worse views to see I suppose. Once a week the temptation who walks through my door shows no sign of having the same thoughts. So I take in my fill of Hunter while I can and save those thoughts for my nights alone. Until one day when it becomes too much and I make my move. There’s no going back now—I’m making this mountain man mine.

Chapter One

Hunter

Thesightthatgreetsme as I push open the door to Whole Latte Java for my weekly coffee pick-up gets my blood pumping… to the south. A delectable ass I’d recognize anywhere encased in tight spandex bent over at eye level. A quick glance up confirms my assumption when I see a cascade of ruby-red curls.Ariana.
