He unknowingly shuts her out of an annual tradition. But he's all too willing to make it up to her.


For decades, the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony has used a tree from my family's farm. Not this year, though. This year, one of the town's mountain men found an oversized tree from a Christmas tree farm in another state.


This is personal.


But when I confront that mountain man, he's kind, apologetic, and hotter than hot. In fact, I have a hard time resisting him.


Is falling for him a betrayal? If so, I might be in trouble.


Hot Cocoa with the Mountain Man is an OTT age gap holiday romance featuring an alpha hero and V-card heroine. It’s designed to be read in only one hour. If you like short, steamy instalove novellas, you’ll love the entire Rosewood Ridge Christmas series!
