The Mountain Man's Runaway Bride
(2026)(A book in the Fertile Brides series)
A Story by Willow Watkins
I ran from the altar and straight into the arms of a mountain man.
Showing up in a strange town in my wedding dress wasn’t part of the plan. But anything is better than marrying a criminal who thinks he owns me. I escaped before the vows, jumped on the first bus I could find… and landed in a sleepy mountain town with nothing but fear in my heart and a target on my back.
That’s when I meet Caleb Wells. He’s tall. Silent. Rough around the edges. And he takes one look at me and offers me shelter without asking for anything in return.
Except this stranger doesn’t feel like a stranger for long. The way he looks at me is protective. Possessive. And with every moment we spend together, it gets harder to pretend I don’t feel something for him.
I ran to save my freedom. I never expected to lose my heart.
And I definitely wasn’t expecting to let him put a baby inside me…
