Arctic Star by Cassie Mint

I live in the wilderness by choice. I’m no good with people.

But when a terrified young woman knocks on my cabin door, I have no choice but to offer her shelter.
She’s a puzzle. Lost and exhausted in the Arctic circle, with nothing but a ratty backpack and a torn winter coat.
And it takes me way too long to notice—she doesn’t speak. She can’t speak. My sweet little runaway is mute.
That’s fine. She has no reason to fear me. And no reason to be ashamed.
We’ll be scarred together.
Because she’s not leaving. It’s not safe out there.
And she’s mine.
Arctic Star is a short and steamy instalove, with a big, gruff hero and his runaway love.
