Mountain Man Christmas

By: Ava Grace

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She walked into his tattoo shop for a lasting mark on her skin. She never expected him to mark her heart.

All Abigail Moore wants for Christmas is a fresh start—and a tattoo to prove she’s finally stepping out of her shell. So she walks into Hunter Shaw’s shop and gives him a challenge: ink whatever he wants on her skin.

His first instinct? Turn her away.

Hunter believes tattoos should have meaning, and the quiet and mousy Abby doesn’t strike him as the type to get inked on a whim. But if she’s determined to do this, then he’s going to be the one to do it and make sure it’s done right.

As they work together to design her tattoo, a spark ignites between them—one that Hunter never saw coming. Scarred inside and out from two military tours and haunted by demons he can’t outrun, he’s spent years chasing women he could never truly have. But something about Abby pulls him in, and this time, running isn’t an option.

Then a fire breaks out at Abby’s workplace. And suddenly, Hunter is faced with a choice—fight through his past to save the woman he’s falling for… or let his demons win.

Will this Christmas in Creede bring love, healing, and a future worth fighting for?
Or will it turn into a nightmare neither of them can escape?

It’s the beginning of a good book, but it needs a lot more substance.

I hated the AI reader. It was very hard to follow who was speaking - absolutely no inflection or emotion.
