Pining for You: Carved By His Name

Ava

I came to the mountains to escape.

Deadlines, exes, burnout… life.

What I didn’t expect was him.

Grumpy. Growly. Gorgeous in a way that should be illegal without a permit.

And apparently allergic to shirts.

He built the cabin.

Now he thinks he owns whoever walks into it.

Too bad for him, I don’t do bossy mountain men with scars, secrets, and way too much wood.

…Okay, maybe just once.

Fine. Twice.

Shut up.

This was supposed to be a two-week reset.

So why does it feel like I’m already his?

His POV

Greggory

I built this cabin to be left the hell alone.

No clients. No people. No mistakes I can’t walk away from.

Then she showed up.

Mouthy. Nosy. Trouble.

City girl thought she was renting a peaceful getaway.

Instead, she walked straight into my trap.

Now she’s wearing my shirts, touching my tools, and making my life a living hell.

I should’ve sent her packing.

But one taste wasn’t enough.

Now I want everything.

She thinks she can leave when her little vacation ends.

But I’ve already carved her name into this place.

Into me.

And I don’t let go of what’s mine.
