One Night with the Mountain Man
(2026)(The tenth book in the Mountain Man Love Stories series)
A Story by Jess Winters
She was running from the spotlight.
I was the man who shouldn'''t have opened the door.
Snowstorm. Midnight. A desperate knock.
Her eyes were red, her fame fading fast, and her story bleeding through the cracks.
I let her in—because I couldn’t let her freeze.
Because one look at her and I was already burning.
One night. That’s all it was supposed to be.
Her soft moans in the dark. My rough hands finding what she’d been hiding from the world.
No cameras. No scripts. Just heat, wild and real.
Then came the two pink lines.
Her name back in headlines.
And a media circus ready to chew us up.
They wanted to own her.
They wanted to erase me.
But this mountain doesn’t break that easy.
Ridge Hollow became our battleground—neighbors at our backs, fire in our hearts.
She learned to stop apologizing for wanting more.
I learned love isn’t protection—it’s partnership.
Through snow, courtrooms, and chaos, we built something fierce.
A love too raw for Hollywood. Too real to fake.
Because when the storm closes in, only truth stands.
And our truth was fire.
Lose yourself in the heat, heart, and fight of One Night with the Mountain Man.
