Rescue of the Mountain Man's Heart
(2026)(The eighth book in the Mountain Man Love Stories series)
A Story by Jess Winters
He was half-buried in the snow.
I dug him out.
No name. No past. Just fragments—oil on his hands, the echo of a cockpit, and a single word that burns his tongue. Emma.
He remembers guilt. A boy he might have failed. A life that feels like someone else’s skin.
Aurora keeps him anyway.
Because she’s stubborn like that.
Because her heart doesn’t listen to warnings.
She lives alone on the ridge—painter’s hands, a cabin that smells of pine and turpentine, a stove that fights to stay lit.
She stitches him up. Feeds him. Gives him warmth.
And against every rule, she lets him stay.
What starts as survival turns into something deeper.
A look that lingers.
A touch that steadies.
A kiss that feels like remembering.
They fall together—slow, desperate, and real.
Heat by the woodstove. Soft words in the dark. Love that feels too dangerous to name.
But the past doesn’t stay buried.
A burned flight log. A hidden ledger. A name''Hollis—whispered like a curse.
Men with dirty hands want him found.
A powerful fiancée wants him erased.
And Aurora? She’s caught right in the middle.
The snow’s closing in.
The lies are catching up.
And the man she saved may be the one thing that destroys them both—or saves them all.
Come into the cold. Stay for the heat.
Read Rescue of the Mountain Man’s Heart and lose yourself in a story of danger, desire, and a love strong enough to fight the past.
