About this book
Courtney is desperate for a fresh start. Tired of living on the edge of ruin, she secures a three-month contract at the remote Black Mountain Lodge, hoping to prove her worth and finally find a place to call home. However, her arrival is met with immediate hostility from the owner, Sterling. Expecting a male hire, Sterling is blindsided when the beautiful, curvy woman from his dreams shows up at his doorstep instead. Determined to maintain his peace and keep his focus on the lodge, Sterling decides that Courtney is a distraction he cannot afford. He attempts to fire her before she even begins, but when she refuses to back down, he pivots to a new strategy: making her life difficult enough that she quits on her own. What follows is an intense, slow-burn battle of wills that quickly shifts from antagonism to undeniable chemistry. Featuring the classic "grumpy vs. sunshine" and "boss/employee" tropes, this steamy mountain romance explores the tension between two stubborn hearts. As the lines between professional duties and personal desires blur, Sterling must decide if he is willing to let his guard down for the woman who is effortlessly dismantling his resolve.

Image 105: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars Holy Freaking Flannel!! "ɪ'ʟʟ ᴅᴏ ᴀɴʏᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ʏᴏᴜ. ʏᴏᴜ ᴊᴜsᴛ ᴛᴇʟʟ ᴍᴇ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ.” OHMYGOSH, I'm obsessed with the grumpy, broody, flannel wearing Mountain Boss that is Sterling Black!! This man may be all these things, but hidden behind those qualities is a protective, caring, slightly stalkerish man who wants someone to love him and want him..... enter Courtney Kern. “ʏᴏᴜ ᴜɴʀᴀᴠᴇʟ ᴍᴇ, ᴄᴏᴜʀᴛɴᴇʏ ᴋᴇʀɴ. ɪ'ᴠᴇ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ғᴇʟᴛ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴜɴʜɪɴɢᴇᴅ. ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴜɴᴅᴏɴᴇ.” Courtney has not had an easy life, and she just wants a good life for herself. She definitely didn't expect a sexy as sin boss who didn't want her employed under him yet didn't want her to leave. The tension and off the charts chemistry was burning up the pages and me fanning myself because once these two had the spice flowing, oh lord, hold on to your panties! "ᴛʜᴇɴ sᴛᴇʀʟɪɴɢ ʙʟᴀᴄᴋ's ᴍᴏᴜᴛʜ ɪs ᴏɴ ᴍɪɴᴇ. ᴀɴᴅ ɪ ᴄʟᴏsᴇ ᴍʏ ᴇʏᴇs. ʙᴇᴄᴀᴜsᴇ ᴛʜɪs ɪs ɪᴛ. ᴛʜᴇ sᴛᴀʀᴛ ᴏғ ᴍʏ ғᴏʀᴇᴠᴇʀ." SJ Tilly always sucks me into her worlds and she definitely didn't disappoint with this new world for her Mountain Men series. So if you love age gap, boss x employee, enemies to lovers/mistaken identity, then you definitely will LOVEEE Sterling and Courtney!

See all formats and editions Courtney I’m just so exhausted—always living on the edge of desperation, one paycheck away from ruin. But this new job… It could be the fresh start I need. It could change everything. The contract is only for three months, but if I keep my head down, work hard, and prove myself, maybe I could stay longer. Maybe I could make Black Mountain Lodge my home. As I pull down the gravel drive, surrounded by the forest and mountains and bright blue skies, I feel something I haven’t felt in a while. I feel hope. Sterling My new employee is late. I’m already in a bad mood about having to train him, still salty about my old guy retiring on me. But while I’m waiting, a woman pulls up my drive. A woman straight from my damn dreams. Curvy and pretty, looking at me with wide eyes framed with sooty lashes. And suddenly, I’m no longer thinking about my late employee. But then she opens her mouth and asks for me, introducing herself as Courtney, my new hire. Courtney. Not Court, like the application said. And I realize there’s been a mistake. I can’t have this woman working here. Living on my property. Distracting me. I mean, my staff. No. She can’t work for me. End of story. Except she won’t leave. She even threatens to sue me. Fine. If she won’t let me fire her before she even starts, then I’ll just have to make her leave on her own. ) ©2025 S.J. Tilly LLC (P)2025 S.J. Tilly LLC Previous slide of product details 1.
