Savage Ridge

After losing the only person who ever truly loved her, Ivy Bennett leaves the city behind and moves to the isolated mountain town of Black Hollow to restore the cabin her late aunt left her. Surrounded by snow-covered forests and painful memories, Ivy hopes the mountains might finally become the fresh start she desperately needs.

What she doesn't expect is Maddox Kane. Massive, silent, and feared by everyone in town, Maddox is a former special operations soldier known only as Reaper. Haunted by a violent past, he lives alone high in the mountains with only his dog for company, avoiding people whenever possible. Especially someone like Ivy-bright, stubborn, talkative, and far too tempting for a man who swore he'd never let anyone close again. But the moment the tiny redhead crashes into his quiet life, Maddox's control begins to unravel.

As winter tightens its grip on the mountains, the tension between them grows impossible to ignore. And when a brutal snowstorm traps Ivy in Maddox's cabin, the cold outside becomes nothing compared to the heat building between them. Because Maddox Kane may be grumpy, broken, and dangerous-but he falls first. And once Reaper decides Ivy is his, there's no force on the mountain strong enough to make him let her go.
