I hurry into the bedroom and then grab the lingerie and hurry to get dressed. I fluff my hair and apply another layer of mascara before I take one last look at myself in the mirror.

I look hot. The purple lace and silk hugs my curves and I know that Harvey is going to go crazy when he sees me in it.

I head out into the kitchen, my high heels clicking on the hardwood floor but Harvey doesn’t look up from the flowers.

“Know what you’re hungry for yet, babe?” he asks me and I lean against the kitchen doorway.

“I’ll let you decide. What are you hungry for?” I ask and Harvey finally looks up at me.

His mouth drops open and I can see his eyes heat from across the room.

“You,” he murmurs. “I’m hungry for you.”

I giggle, letting him pick me up and carry me to our bedroom where he lays me out on the bed and devours me.

CLAIMING HIS FOREVER

*

Emma Fawn has fallen on hard times.

Her mom, unable to support them both, had kicked her out when she turned eighteen and she’s been bouncing from town to town and job to job for a few years until she finally lands in the tiny town of Thorp, Washington.

She’s trying to stay positive but she’s run out of money, has nowhere to live, and no real options. She’s so desperate that she applies to any job that she can find that’s hiring and finally gets an interview at Stratton Lumber.

She’s pretty sure she won’t get hired as a lumberjack but she still shows up for the interview. When she first walks in, she thinks she's found a Sasquatch but she quickly realizes that it's actually her new boss, Heath.

She should be scared that she's now living with a man that she just met but there's something so sweet and unexpected about the giant wounded man that just keeps drawing her in.

He's sick of the jokes and looks so he prefers to spend time alone but one look at Emma and he knows he can't let her go.

When Heath first tastes the food that his new live in housekeeper makes, he realizes that she lied about her skills. Somehow though, he thinks he would choke down her cooking everyday for the rest of his life if it meant that she would stay with him.

When it's looks like Emma is going to leave him, he panics. Will Heath be able to let Emma go? Or will he do whatever it takes to claim his forever girl?

*Warning: This lumberjack alpha is growly and head over heels in love with his feisty girl. Are you looking for a short, sweet, instalove story? Then hit that button cause this book is for you!

ONE

Heath

I dust my jeans off,trying to brush off all of the sawdust as I make my way up to the front office. We’re in the height of our cutting season here at Stratton Lumber and I just had two guys up and quit. I put a flyer up and an ad in the local paper and I’m supposed to be interviewing someone any minute now. My shoulders tense at that. I hate meeting new people.

Everyone always gets the same look on their faces when they first see me. I’m a giant, a freak some people say. At 7’3” I’m well over average height. I’m also built like a brick house with muscles on top of muscles, most of which I got from chopping down trees every day for the last fifteen years. I’ve heard all of the names over the years but ever since I opened Stratton Lumber and built my cabin in the woods, the one name that’s stuck is Sasquatch. I roll my eyes just thinking about it.

I know that I am tall and my shaggy hair and beard probably don’t help me put a stop to the nickname but I stopped caring about appearances a long time ago. There wasn’t anything that I could do about my height and I think that I let my hair grow out longer so that I could hide behind it. Now, I’m used to it. Besides, I don’t have time right now for a haircut.

My parents and I lived in a small town just west of here in Washington state when I was a kid. They were good parents, loving and patient. I learned how to cut down trees from my dad and we would do it every year to stock up on wood for the fireplace in the winter. They were killed in a car accident when I was twenty and I’ve been on my own ever since.

I started Stratton Lumber when I was twenty-two. Back then, it was just me chopping wood by myself, but over time I grew it into one of the biggest lumber yards in the pacific northwest.

I round the corner, nodding at a few of my workers as they head back out to the forest after their lunch break. The sun is in my eyes as I take the stairs up to the tiny office. That’s the only excuse I have for missing the girl standing next to the front door.
