Kind, insistent and refusing to go away, Granger Barnett is one of the most gorgeous men I’ve ever met. I imagine every woman in Rockhead Point wants a taste of the mountain man. Except me.
When my RV breaks down, he shows up like the good Samaritan ready to save me, only I’m not looking for a hero. But it turns out no isn’t a word Granger hears that often, especially not from the woman he thinks is meant to be his.
He says it’s fate, I’m confident he’s got the wrong girl
Only apparently the Barnett brothers know how to get their own way. So now I’m staying at his house and he’s talked me into giving him the weekend to convince me I’m his.
But while I’m planning my great escape, I realize he doesn’t just want the weekend, he wants to keep me forever.

Fuck, this is her. Her. My woman. Mine. All mine. How is this possible? How can it happen just like that? One glance and I knew, unequivocally knew without any element of doubt that I’m going to make this woman mine, that I’m going to marry her, fill her with my baby and keep her forever.

"She’s skittish, a real flight risk until I get things straightened out with her,” I confess.
“So, what you’re saying is that she has no fucking clue that she’s here because you plan to marry her?” Cody laughs, still clearly amused despite how serious everyone else has become.
“She’s mine, she won’t be leaving. She just doesn’t know it yet,” I tell him, meaning every single word.
&
I want Alice to be completely mine in this seriously old fashioned, me man, you woman way that I have never considered attractive until today. I want her to need me for everything. I want to be the person she goes to for every need, thought and desire. I want her dependent on me, but not in a fucked-up way.
More because it already feels like she’s the reason I breathe, and I need to not be in this alone.
&
"I’m obsessed and it’s been two days, this is more than fate, it’s madness and I can’t wait to slip into oblivion with you.”
&
"I want all of your fears, all of your insecurities. I’ve got big shoulders, I can take them so you don’t have to.”
&
“You wanna read my messages, search through my cell, share a fucking toothbrush, I’m happy to do it, because I’m sure as shit gonna wanna know who’s texting you. I’m gonna want to know where you are, who you’re with and what you’re doing. You think you’re toxic, then I’m gonna feel like a nuclear explosion.”
&
She thinks her anxious behaviors will drive me away, but she’s got no fucking clue the lengths I’ll go to make her stay. Huck lost his shit and kidnapped Cora when she tried to leave him, but when I think about Alice trying to run, kidnapping seems like child’s play in comparison to the things I’d do to keep her.
&
“There is never going to be a time when you need me too much. My life is you, I breathe when you breathe, smile when you smile, hurt when you hurt.
You need me and I need you just as much.
If there is such a thing as me without you, I don’t ever want to know what that’s like again.”
