From The Publisher:

"A sexy, heartfelt snowed-in romance with a surly hero hot enough to melt all sorts of ice." - Andie J. Christopher, USA Today Bestselling Author of Not the Girl You Marry A woman on the edge… Christa Evans is having a rough night. She's lied to and harassed, then she loses her job. And that's before the crash that sends her car careening to the bottom of a cliff. She'd be dead if not for the big, bearded recluse who pulls her from the wreckage and carries her back to his cabin in the woods. The quintessential loner… Wounded hero Micah Graham has no time for visitors. So, when he brings home the woman who nearly died on his mountain, he'll take her in, but he doesn't plan to let her stay. Then the storm hits. Heating up the Holiday... Together. While the snow piles high, trapping the two strangers together in the middle of nowhere, Christa and Micah find common ground in the attraction burning between them, proving that not only do opposites attract, they combust. The only question is, as things come to a head: What happens once the ice melts? Loving the Mountain Man is a standalone in the Love at Last series. Originally published in the Reindeer Games Anthology, this version has been expanded with new material.
