The Carpenter Who Fixed More Than My Porch: Claimed by the Mountain Man of Washington State

After moving to the woods to escape the scars of my past, I never thought I'd find someone like Logan Hayes—grieving the loss of his wife, yet still carrying the weight of that heartbreak in his rough hands.

His touch is tender, yet possessive, and when he holds me, it’s like he’s trying to claim something he’s lost, something he’s desperate to rebuild.

I’ve been used before, mistreated in ways that left marks deeper than the ones on my skin, but with Logan, I feel something different—a raw, undeniable need to be cared for, protected, and loved.

His kiss is fierce, as if he’s tasting the loss of years he can never get back, and I’m helpless to resist the pull of his desire, even though the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Logan doesn’t just want me—he wants to make me his in every way possible, to make me his, to put his baby inside me as if we’re meant to start anew together.

I can feel it in the way his hands move over my body, in the hunger in his eyes, in the way his voice breaks when he whispers he wants me to carry his child.

But as much as I crave him, the weight of our pasts threatens to tear us apart, and just when I think I might surrender completely, my heart shifts, and I know I want him too.
