About this ebook
Eva
I'm a romance writer on a deadline.
My readers want me to write a mountain man series.
Only, I've never ever seen a mountain man much less know how to write one.
So I book a stay at a cabin outside the small town of Three Rivers hoping it'll inspire me.
It's perfect, until it's disruptively noisy.
The serene experience I expect from a remote cabin in the Alaska wilderness is drown out by construction.
I'm livid enough to give demand a full refund.
Until I lay eyes on the sexy solo builder.
He's exactly the type of hero my readers want me write about.
What harm could a little inspiration proposition do?
Unless I fall in love with him.
Slade
After a bad breakup and too many nights spent drowning my sorrows with a bottle, I decide enough is enough.
I need something constructive to occupy my time.
I buy a remote property with two cabins.
I move into one, list the other as an Air B&B, and immediately get to work on building another.
My first customer is a writer who promises not to bother me.
It's perfect.
Until she confronts me about all the noise I'm making.
Which is why I'm completely thrown off when the curvy beauty changes her tune and asks me to be her inspiration for a romance series.
It's the perfect fling.
Except I don't think I can let her go.
It doesn't take me long to realize she's the one I no longer believed existed. The one I was always meant to find.
If only I can convince her to stay.

The blinking cursor on my blank screen does not get to mock me. Not today. Writer’s block can take a big flying leap off a very steep cliff. I didn’t travel all the way to the middle-of-nowhere, Alaska not to write all the words.
My readers have been begging for a mountain man book. I don’t have a clue what the hell a mountain man is—shit, I’ve never even seen one—but I’m not going to shy away from the challenge. I’m also a tad bit hopeful that, tucked way out here in the Alaskan wilderness, I’ll run into a real-life mountain man to help inspire my story.
I lift my fingers from the keyboard and wriggle them expectantly. It’s only proper self-care to stretch them before they begin blazing words on to the page. C’mon, Alaska. Work your magic.
Taking a slow, deep breath, I wait for the muse to magically waltz into my cabin—whether Cinderella style or flowing on a gentle breeze. I’m not picky.
But…nothing happens.
Dammit, muse. You know we’re on a deadline, here. I swear, if you went to Hawaii instead…
Narrowing my eyes at the screen, I frown at the subheading. A nagging gut feeling tells me the heroine’s name is all wrong. I backspace through Mitzy, which only leaves the already empty page even emptier.
My stomach sinks a little as I realize I don’t have a better name picked out. Not one that speaks to the spunky, confident character I want starring in my newest romance. Mitzy feels like a damsel in distress. I don’t write those. I write women who can save themselves. I need a stronger name. And until I figure one out, I know I’m stuck.
Pulling up an internet browser, I click the link to a bookmarked baby name site. But before the search for the perfect character name can begin, an error message pops up on my screen. The Air B&B listing promised Wi-Fi. I muffle a groan. Should’ve known that way out here it’d be spotty at best.
Coffee. I need more coffee.
I push out of my chair, carrying my nearly empty mug to the freshly brewed pot. The cabin I’ve rented for my writing retreat is cozy. In three quick steps, I go from the writing desk pushed up against an east-facing window to the kitchen. Aside from a loft bedroom and the world’s tiniest bathroom—hey, at least it’s not an outhouse!—the rest of the cabin is in one room.
But it does have a spacious deck, wrapping around two sides of the cabin, and a breathtaking view of the mountain range. The deck is what sold me on the Alaskan vacation.
I snag a blanket, slip on my fuzzy green slippers, and head outside with my fresh coffee. A cushioned cedar chair with a matching table calls my name. Later, when I can’t see my breath frosted on the air, I’ll bring my laptop out here.
Tucking the blanket around me all snuggly-like, I let my eyes fall closed. I can see my heroine forming in my mind. She’s a sassy redhead who doesn’t put up with any crap. She’s not afraid to go after what she wants. Flaw…
I mumble. She needs a flaw…
The roar of a chainsaw jolts me out of my peaceful brainstorming process and I tumble, quite ungracefully, out of my chair. The blanket I spent so much time tucking around every nook and cranny of my curvy body refuses to shake free before I fall unceremoniously to the deck floor.
What the actual fuck,
I mutter half a second before I hear that awful noise again.
I’m relieved no one witnessed my embarrassing event, but irritated that the promised quiet in the listing description was a lie. That chainsaw is too close to be a neighbor. Unless the whole cozy cabin
