Megan Ryder

She came to the mountains to start over. She didn't expect to find a man who refuses to let her go. Harper Reyes thought Granite Junction would be her fresh start-a quiet mountain town where she could rebuild her life on her own terms. No drama. No danger. No man telling her what she needs. She was wrong. When a local man turns his attention on her, Harper realizes too late that small towns have their own kind of darkness.
And when things escalate, there's only one person standing between her and real danger-Beckett Malone. The reclusive mountain man keeps his distance from everyone. until Harper. Beck doesn't do attachments. Doesn't do second chances. Not after the mistake that cost someone their life. But the moment Harper is threatened, something in him snaps into place-protective, possessive, and absolutely unyielding.
One night under his roof turns into something neither of them planned. She says she doesn't need saving. He knows she deserves to feel safe. And Beck will do whatever it takes to make sure of it. Even if it means breaking every rule he's lived by. Because Harper isn't just under his protection anymore.She's his.
