Then again, I never thought my half-sister would just abandon her tiny son. Now, it’s on me to raise the six-month old baby. I don’t have a clue what to do with a little one, but I know they need lots of loving. That’s why I hire the sweetest woman in all of Courage County to care for him. She’s got curves for days, and I shouldn’t be thinking about my new nanny like that. But now that she’s under my skin, I’m never letting her go. She’s mine and I plan to claim those curves all for myself. Ivy Hale is a big grump but he’s always coming into the little dessert shop where I work. He tips me an extra twenty and licks his ice cream cone while I imagine how it would feel to be his sweet treat. After I get fired, the older mountain man shows up with his baby and an offer to become his new nanny. I don’t know why he’s so insistent that I’m the one for the job, but I need the work. Besides, it’s not a big deal to work around Hale. It’s not like he’d ever be interested in a curvy woman like me…would he? If you love a grumpy mountain man who falls hard for his sunshine nanny, it’s time to meet Hale in Claimed by the Mountain Man. Courage County mountain men love curves! These flannel-wearing, wood-cutting lumberjack men are gruff and grumpy. But underneath it all, they have hearts of gold just waiting to be uncovered by the curvy women they claim.

And I definitely couldn't believe mine. God, he was so handsome and strong. Not like soft-handed city boys. I wish he didn't live so far away. Up there in the hills, it was so quiet, so peaceful. I'd like to settle down there one day, leave this city and start over. But those are just dreams. Or at least, I thought they were. And then one day he came down to the city and looked me up... One thing led to another, and before I knew it, I found myself falling head over heels for this country boy. Dalton: I can't sleep. I can't get her out of my head. That curvy cutie just won't leave my mind. That face, that curvy frame, that shy little laugh. She's everything I've ever wanted, and then some. But she's a city girl, and I'm a country boy, living up here in the hills getting my hands dirty day in and day out with my job. I'm a lumberjack, and she's a secretary. Our way of life couldn't be much more different than it already is. But I'm willing to bet she wouldn't mind coming up here to the mountains with me and seeing how life is outside of the city... Whatever it takes, that's what I'm going to do to make this woman my forever. Dalton's Touch is an over the top romance story in the Mountain Man's BBW series by Amber Branley. The book is a standalone, and the series can be read in any order you like. Each book features a new alpha male as well as a new curvy girl as they fall head over heels in instant love.

Sure, there are some people who try to scare me off from Roman, the savage mountain man. I know the rumors that swirl around him. He’s done hard time. He’s gruff and grumpy. He’s also…lonely. I don’t know how I know that. I just know that I do. Maybe that’s why I keep showing up at his place and doing nice things for him. Except one day he comes home early and catches me in the act. Now the older mountain man is insisting that he’ll put a ring on my finger and his babies in my belly. Roman I’ve been obsessed with Gabby since the day I met her. The petite mechanic changes the oil and rotates the tires of my truck. But what I really want is to get under her hood because there’s only one thing those curves were built for: making babies. But the curvy woman deserves better than a big brute like me. So I keep my distance until the day I can’t. The day I come home to find her cleaning up my place and making me a hot meal. It’s time to turn her into my dirty little housewife, so I can finally breed her sexy body. If you love a dominant, filthy mountain man who’s determined to love (and breed) his curvy woman, it’s time to meet Roman in Bred by the Mountain Man. Courage County mountain men love curves!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Brother's Best Friend Forbidden Romance Ivy I never imagined that the scruffy kid who was my brother's best friend would grow up to be this muscular Adonis. If I'm honest with myself, I’ve always had a crush on Leo. Back then, I hid it behind my argumentative, bossy exterior, being a true little pest to both him and my brother, Bear. Now, Leo is all I can think about, and I’m not sure he sees me as anything more than Bear’s little sister. Leo When Ivy arrived in Cady Springs, I hadn't seen her in seven years. Being in the military, I missed a lot of people as they grew up and changed. I never planned on settling down. But being around Ivy -- this new version of her -- has me rethinking the whole marriage thing. She's Bear's little sister, though, and my history with women is sort of love them and leave them. Bear will be furious with me thinking about his sister the way I do. Ivy has quickly grown into my head space while I have carnal thoughts of having her wrapped around my body. Returning to her hometown of Cady Springs, Colorado, Ivy Collins is ready to fulfill her role as Maid of Honor for Angela and her brother Bear's wedding. Known for her fiery spirit and quick wit, Ivy has always maintained a playful, adversarial relationship with Bear's best friend, Leo. As children, their teasing and banter were legendary, but now, years later, the stakes are higher. Leo has transformed from the boy who used to pull her pigtails into a ruggedly handsome former Navy SEAL. As Best Man, he's tasked with ensuring the wedding goes off without a hitch, but he never anticipated Ivy's return would ignite such a powerful attraction. Determined to keep things platonic, both Ivy and Leo struggle to navigate the forbidden allure that now simmers between them. With every glance, every accidental touch, their chemistry intensifies, making it harder to ignore the undeniable sparks. As they work together to support Bear and Angela on their big day, Ivy and Leo begin to see each other in a new light, recognizing the depth of their connection beyond the playful jabs and childhood antics. Yet, the shadow of their past and the weight of familial bonds loom large. Bear's protective instincts toward his sister and his deep friendship with Leo create a seemingly insurmountable barrier. Ivy and Leo must decide if they're willing to risk it all for a chance at true love, or if they’ll let the constraints of their relationship keep them apart. Opal Nicks delivers a steamy, yet heartwarming, tale of rediscovered love and the irresistible pull of destiny. Welcome to Cady Springs, Colorado where the mountains are the focal point of beauty and mystery. Nestled in the mountains, foothills and valley, you’ll encounter a breed of man previously thought extinct. Cady Springs is filled with men who like their women resilient but soft and voluptuous. These men play for keeps. Once they grab hold, they don’t let go. It’s forever or nothing in the small mountain community of Cady Springs where love, luck and fortune converge and take over.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Thomas Burton's edition of what amounts to an autobiography of Ronda Lee Hicks-fighter, drinker, womanizer, and storyteller-represents a wiff of late-night honky-tonk whiskey and tobacco in its realism. . . . Hicks is a talented raconteur, whose gifts are well displayed in Burton's careful editing." --Erika Brady, Western Kentucky University Ronda Lee Hicks, as the traditional song goes, is "a man you don't meet every day." Hailing from the Beech Mountain area of western North Carolina, Ronda is the offspring of the two families of great storytellers who are largely responsible for the area's strong storytelling tradition of the International Wonder Tales of Jack. And his late cousin Ray Hicks was the famed "keeper" of the International Wonder Tales of Jack that have proven so popular in the Appalachian region for more than two centuries. Like Ray, Ronda is a gifted storyteller, but not of Jack Tales. Even so, Ronda's stories about himself, his family, friends, and acquaintances are wonder tales no less. With great candor and sometimes jarring humor, Hicks recounts his life's highs and lows. These events, ranging from drunken debauchery to brutality, are often shocking. He has had many close encounters with "the law" and was twice sent to prison. His relationships with women, including his two wives, have been tumultuous at best. This is the story of a violent, sometimes dissolute life--one that sounds more like it was lived in the mountains a hundred years ago than in contemporary Appalachia. Embedded in all of Ronda's stories are numerous details of mountain life, work, entertainment, behavior, beliefs, values, and codes. Thus, through Ronda's memoirs and interviews with noted Appalachian scholar Thomas Burton, readers will not only meet a truly singular individual but will also learn of many obscure features of southern Appalachian mountain culture, including its darker aspects. At the very least, the reader will wonder how Ronda Hicks lived to tell his fascinating tales at all. Thomas Burton is professor emeritus of English at East Tennessee State University. He is the author of Serpent-Handling Believers and The Serpent and the Spirit: Glenn Summerford's Story. "Together, Hicks, the storyteller, and the author give the reader an authentic view of Appalachian life, one that often disputes the beauty of the Blue Ridge and the quaintness of old-fashioned ways that tourists find endearing." --H-Net Reviews
