The dating app said we were perfect for each other. Too bad he never signed up.

Heres a pro tip: when you help code a dating app called Mountain Mates, maybe dont test it out yourself. But after catching my ex in a very non-traditional yoga pose with his instructor, I needed an escape. The app matched me with Logan Miller—all broody intensity and lumberjack appeal, living so far up the mountain my GPS actually whimpered. Perfect, right? Until I arrived hauling my lifes possessions up his dirt road, and discovered Mr. Mountain Man didnt even know I existed. Turns out his brother has a talent for identity theft and matchmaking along with designing dating apps. Now Im stranded in the middle of nowhere with a sexy survivalist who looks even better shirtless than his profile picture suggested. Hes teaching me wilderness skills (which really means Im learning how long I can stare at his abs without being obvious), and Im showing him that sometimes love arrives unannounced—in a slightly beat-up car, driven by a curvy city girl who thinks trail mix means yummy chocolate with a few nuts for decoration.

I traded the tech world for solitude on Lone Mountain, where my biggest problem was teaching hikers not to take selfies with bears. Then she appeared on my doorstep—all curves, sass, and city-girl determination. My brothers latest scheme: signing me up for his mail-order bride app without my knowledge. I shouldve pointed her back down the mountain. Instead, I let her stay just for one night. Now shes wearing my clothes, charming my clients, and making me question everything about my carefully constructed solitude. Shes hopeless at wilderness survival but somehow managed to navigate straight past all my defenses. The worst part? Every time she smiles, I forget why I ever wanted to be alone. My brothers always been a meddling pain in my ass, but this time this time he might have actually gotten something right. Even if Ill never admit it to his smug face.
This is a quick, spicy read perfect for anyone who loves grumpy-sunshine couples, mountain settings, and matchmaking schemes gone right.
