They say the ex-military man on the mountain cant be trusted.

He’s dangerous. Unstable. A man better left alone.

But when Griffins truck breaks down and he walks into my auto shop, all I see is a gentle giant with pain behind his eyes.

I tell myself Im just being professional when I offer him my truck.

Tell myself Im just being kind when I defend him to my friends.

But the truth is, I feel an undeniable pull toward Griffin—and when he leans in to kiss me, I’ve never wanted anything more.

Now Im risking my reputation, my friendships, and my fathers legacy…

…all for a man who could be just as bad as the rumors say.
