His Heart for Christmas by Ivy Noir

This Christmas in Mistwood Hollow, everything is about to change for grumpy, possessive mountain man Josh Harris. Emma’s back in the small village, no longer the girl-next-door but a confident woman determined to break down his walls. As the heat between them builds, will Josh let himself fall for his second chance at love, or will his past keep them apart?

Josh
Emma Thompson is everything I shouldn’t want.
She’s young, vibrant, and too damn sweet for someone like me.
But the way she looks at me? It’s impossible to ignore.
She’s been driving me insane, her curves, her smile, her teasing little glances.
She doesn’t know how close I am to losing control, to throwing caution out the window and taking her the way I’ve dreamed about.
But I can’t.
She’s too good, and I’m too broken.
Yet, every time she’s near, all I want is to bury my hands in her hair and make her mine.

Emma
I’ve wanted him for as long as I can remember.
Josh Harris—gruff, guarded, and so unbelievably irresistible.
Every time I see him, my heart races, and my body betrays me.
He’s older, off-limits, but I don’t care.
I’ve watched him work, his strong hands lifting trees like they weigh nothing, and all I can think about is what those hands would feel like on me.
He doesn’t know it, but I’m not just the girl from town anymore.
I’m a woman, and I’m ready to show him just how much I want him.
