The Lumberjack's Bride

She wanted a fresh start. He just wanted a dog-sitter. Neither expected a love as wild as the woods. Grady Stevens doesn't need love. He needs a partner. A practical, no-nonsense wife to keep his rugged life in order and care for his aging black sheepdog while he spends his days deep in the forest, working as a brooding, solitary lumberjack. Inspired by his best friend's successful mail-order bride story, Grady places an ad for his own bride. But what he gets is not what he expected. Sarah Gerard is everything Grady didn't ask for—and everything he secretly needs. A curvy, sunshiney schoolteacher with a past that's left her bruised and wary, Sarah is seeking a fresh start far from the betrayal of her fat-shaming ex-boyfriend and toxic workplace. She's ready to take on the wilderness, but she never expected her grumpy, older husband to be so… irresistible. With a lazy, lovable dog at their feet, Sarah and Grady will have to decide if the life they've built together is worth fighting for, even as their pasts threaten to tear them apart. The Lumberjack's Bride is a fun romp with a grumpy, ex-military, mountain man loner and his younger, sweet, and curvy bride. The Mountain Man's Mail Order Bride series features rugged men, unexpected brides, and love as wild as the mountain winds that whip around Devil's Peak.
