He’s been waiting for her for years. She never knew he was watching.
Kelly McCrae is having a pretty crap year. Her cheating ex drains their accounts, steals the minivan—and their son’s college fund—then leaves her to face the whispers alone.
Apparently being plump and over forty makes it her fault. But Leonard J.T. Lawrence has never overlooked Kelly. Born and raised in Woodhaven, he built his empire from mountain grit and iron will.
Powerful. Controlled. Used to getting what he wants. And what he’s wanted for years? Was never money. Now she’s free—and he’s done waiting. Kelly is fire wrapped in softness. Steel beneath curves.
But when her ex makes a play that threatens her son, J.T. offers the one thing she’s never had—protection. He’s not offering sympathy. He’s offering himself.
But Kelly won’t be rescued unless it’s on her terms. If J.T. wants her, he’ll have to prove he’s not just another man trying to control her world. Powerful tycoon. Fierce single mom.
One custody battle. One indecent proposal. One mountain strong enough for love.
