Rough Marshal Daddy: A Protector Mountain Man Romance (Steel Mountain Daddies Book 1)

Description

She witnessed a mob hit. Now this grumpy US Marshal is about to become her Daddy. When bakery owner Riley Thompson sees a brutal murder, her quiet life in Montana disappears overnight. Suddenly she’s in witness protection, hiding from a ruthless mob—and the only man standing between her and a body bag is a towering, battle-hardened US Marshal with a gun at his hip and a growl in his voice. Mason Cole built his life on discipline, solitude, and keeping everyone at arm’s length. The former Special Forces soldier has no interest in playing hero. Until Riley lands on his doorstep. One innocent woman. One isolated mountain cabin. One furious blizzard that leaves them stranded together with nowhere to go—and only one bed to share. Riley should be terrified of the man assigned to protect her. Instead, she can’t stop thinking about his commanding presence, his protective instincts, and the way his deep voice makes her feel things she’s never dared to want. Mason knows Riley is off-limits. She’s his assignment. His responsibility. The woman he’s sworn to protect. But somewhere between shared nights and whispered promises, the line between protection and possession disappears. Because when the mob finally finds them, Mason will unleash every ruthless instinct he has to keep Riley alive. And he’ll burn down the entire Montana wilderness before he lets anyone take his woman. Witness protection. Forced proximity. One bed. And a rough mountain marshal who never expected to become Daddy—until her.
