Mountain Man Second Chance: a Western Small Town Romance

By: Eden Sinclair

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

When a freak spring storm traps ex-Special Forces mountain man Jake Blackwood with the woman who broke his heart a decade ago, old wounds reopen and new sparks fly. Mia Carson never expected her wilderness retreat to reunite her with the man she left behind—or to be stranded in his remote cabin with nothing but memories, regrets, and an attraction that burns hotter than ever.

JAKE

I'm the brooding ex-military guy who came home to save my family's wilderness outfitter business—not to face the ghosts of my past. Being alone in these mountains suits me just fine, until my first major client walks through the door and knocks the wind right out of me. Ten years should've been enough time to forget the way Mia's smile lights up a room, but seeing her again feels like a sucker punch straight to the chest.

Now we're trapped together in my cabin while the storm rages outside, and the one raging inside me is even worse. Every time she bites her lip or brushes past me, I'm eighteen again, completely under her spell. I've survived war zones easier than being alone with the only woman who's ever made me want something more—the same woman who walked away without a backward glance.

MIA

I came to Pine Vale to face my biggest regret, not get stranded in a mountain cabin with six feet of gorgeous grudge. Ten years ago, I left Jake behind for reasons he never understood, and I've been trying to outrun my guilt ever since. Now I'm a different person—stronger, braver—but the look in his eyes makes me feel like that scared young girl all over again.

This cabin is too small to avoid the electricity crackling between us, and too quiet to hide from the truth. Every heated glance from those stormy blue eyes reminds me of everything we once had—and everything I threw away. I came here for closure, but with each passing hour, I'm terrified I might be falling for him all over again, knowing full well he'll never forgive me once he learns why I really left.
