Stolen By the Mountain Man by Aria Cole

Kidnapped. Held captive in the wilderness. And now…rescued by the most dangerous man she’s ever met…

Hunter Warner doesn’t do people—he does solitude, survival, and silence. As the quietest of the nine brothers, he’s built a life deep in the rugged wilds of Devil’s Peak, training people to endure nature’s harshest tests. But when he stumbles upon Lark—terrified, gathering wild berries, and being held captive by a crazed off-gridder—his instincts kick in: protect, rescue, and claim.
Lark’s been a prisoner for as long as she can remember, stolen from her city life by a man obsessed with controlling her every move. But the day she meets Hunter, everything changes. He’s an ex-military survivalist with a burning intensity, one who’s willing to break every rule to save her. Desperate and drawn to his over-the-top protective presence, she’s willing to put her life—and her heart—in his hands.
Hunter’s raw masculinity and lethal skills captivate Lark, while her vulnerability and inner strength awaken a primal desire in him to possess her completely. As danger closes in and the wilderness strips them bare, he knows one thing for sure: she’s his, and he’ll kill to keep her safe.

Will Lark escape one captor just to surrender to another? Or will Hunter’s touch be the one she’s been waiting for all along?

The Rugged Hearts series is full of rugged, ex-military, mountain men brothers, steamy tension, seductive banter, and love worth fighting for.
