Sawdust & Soulmates. Front Lines to Home Fronts

Her mother has a plan. He has a promise: she's his forever. Dr. Snyder Manning is the dedicated vet running the only clinic in Frostfall, Vermont, but she has one persistent problem: her mother is determined to marry her off, going so far as to take out embarrassing ads in the local paper. Snyder, a feisty woman used to giving orders, finds her patience running thin. Her world tips on its axis when Nash Diggory-the massive, bearded, ex-Spec Ops soldier who works as a topper at Vaska Timber-bursts into her clinic carrying a gravely wounded wolf.
Known around town as a grump who barely speaks, Nash is instantly obsessed with the "tiny" vet, experiencing an overwhelming, primitive need to claim and possess her from the moment their bodies brush. A raging mountain storm strands Snyder at Nash's secluded cabin after she attempts to check on the wolf's recovery. With the bridge washed out, they are trapped together, and the fierce desire Nash has tried to repress explodes.
He is commanding, possessive, and unapologetic about his sudden claim over her. Nash doesn't care that her mother is trying to sell her to the highest bidder; he knows Snyder Manning is the woman created just for him. The quiet mountain man has finally found his voice, and he's using it to dictate how she spends the rest of her life. Now, Snyder must decide if she's willing to trade her independence for a lifetime of being his-the possessive man who will protect her from anyone and everyone if needed. This short read is MF with a guaranteed HEA.
