The Mountain Man’s Blueprint: A Steamy Small Town Forced Proximity Romance (Grizzlyclaw Brothers Book 1)

She hired him to rebuild her bookstore. He plans to rebuild every wall she hides behind.

Lila Brennan came to Grizzlyclaw with a suitcase, a bruised heart, and one impossible inheritance: a crumbling bookstore with an upstairs apartment, unsafe wiring, and a handwritten note from her great-aunt that reads, Make it warm again.

She can do warm. She can do cozy. She can do romance shelves, coffee, and a fresh start far from the city that drained her dry.What she cannot do is ignore Knox Hollister.

Gruff, broad-shouldered, and maddeningly controlled, Knox is the contractor everyone in town trusts, and the last man Lila should be noticing with dust on his jeans and his hands wrapped around a power tool. He gives her three weeks to get practical.

Three weeks to admit the building is too much, the dream is too risky, and she doesn’t belong in his mountain town. Instead, she moves upstairs.

Now Knox is on-site every day, fixing joists, reinforcing walls, and watching Lila turn his carefully ordered life into chaos. She’s sunshine in work boots. Curves he can’t stop looking at.

The Mountain Man’s Blueprint is a steamy small-town forced proximity romance with a curvy sunshine heroine, a grumpy alpha contractor, renovation tension, protective mountain-man heat, praise-filled intimacy, found family, and a guaranteed HEA romance
