Theron

Isla

When my mom passes away, I take my half of the inheritance to fulfill her dream of visiting Alaska.
I sell everything, secure a waitressing job, and buy a 4Runner to make the trip.
My sister thinks I'm crazy.
But it's not as if I won't know anyone in Three Rivers.
Theron lives there now.
I haven't seen him since I was a little girl and he was leaving for the Army.
I'm not prepared for how incredibly hot he's gotten.
Alaska doesn't feel so lonely now with Theron watching out for me.
But can I get him to see me as more than the kid from next door?

Theron

When Isla calls me with car trouble just outside of town, I don't hesitate to come to her rescue.
I used to help out her family when I was a teenager living next door.
Back then, she was just a kid.
But when I find her on the side of the road, there's nothing but a voluptuous woman now.
I try to keep my attraction to her tamped deep down, but it's almost impossible when one thing after another pushes us together.
It doesn't take me long to realize that Isla is the one for me.
The one I'm meant to protect, to love, and to build a life with.
And I'll do whatever it takes to prove it to her.

We all made a pact. We've survived basic together, shared duty stations, and gone to war together. But the needs of the Army have separated us multiple times. That's why we agreed that when each of us got out, we'd settle down in the same mountainside town of Three Rivers. It was a favorite place to get away on holiday weekends when we were stationed together in Alaska, and as veterans now, we can't imagine anywhere better. A place filled with fresh mountain air, friendly people who are there when you need them but happy to keep to themselves when you don't, and unexpected love none of us saw coming.

Sweet & steamy short story instalove romance with an older mountain man and younger curvy woman. NO cliffhangers. NO cheating. Guaranteed HEA.
