Secret Baby of the Mountain Man
(2026)(The fifth book in the Mountain Man Love Stories series)
A Story by Jess Winters
She came home with a secret—and a lullaby he still remembered.
Maya never planned to see him again. Not after the night that shattered her heart and changed her life. But five years later, she’s standing in his diner with a little boy who has his laugh, his stubbornness, and his storm-colored eyes.
Jack Turner fights fires, not feelings. He’s built a life around control, duty, and the quiet ache of what he lost. Until Maya walks back into his world and everything he buried starts to burn again.
One knitted hat. One small voice calling him ‘Mommy’s friend.’
And suddenly, all the air between them turns electric.
But small towns remember. Gossip spreads. And some secrets don’t stay hidden.
A custody battle looms. A wildfire closes the roads. The past refuses to stay buried.
He’s fighting to protect his daughter. She’s fighting to protect her son.
And in the middle of the smoke, they find the truth neither of them can escape—love never died. It only waited.
They heal each other in whispers and touches.
In late nights and second chances.
In the fierce, dangerous kind of love that’s worth every scar.
Raw. Intense. Unforgettable.
For anyone who believes in love that rises from the ashes.
Step into the smoke. Stay for the heat.
Read Secret Baby of the Mountain Man and lose yourself in a story that burns slow and bright.
