Maple Mountain Flower Crowns & Fiction

"Maple Mountain" by Emma Slate

I’ve sworn off love.

But when the tattooed cowboy at Elk Ridge discovers he has an eleven-year-old daughter, he begs me to be his live-in nanny.

His daughter and I have already bonded, and I can’t say no.

Now I’m living in a small mountain town under the same roof as a flirty single dad I can’t keep my eyes off of.

But desire isn’t enough. I’ve been hurt before and I won’t survive Archer treating me like I’m disposable.

My job in Huckleberry Hill was supposed to be temporary, but despite my hesitation the three of us begin to become a family.

My heart is opening, but this time there’s too much to lose...

Archer challenges me to admit how I really feel, and when I try to push him away he makes it clear this is forever.

I’m getting everything I’ve ever wanted but didn’t believe I’d ever have.

And then I find out I’m pregnant with Archer’s baby.
