Baker Seeks Mountain Man by Marley Michaels

Since she was a little girl, Paige Bridges has only ever wanted two things; to open her own bakery and to love and be loved by her best friend Mason.

Paige has always crushed on Mason Long but life, fate, and a big giant call of the mountain spirit have stopped her from telling him or acting on it. Because if she was truly meant to be Mason’s girl, surely something would’ve happened by now…right? So she resigns herself to only having his lifelong friendship, knowing she’d rather have Mason as a bestie than lose him from her life completely again.

But when she finds out a Mason is next in line to find his soulmate, she wonders if she will have the strength to stand by and watch the love of her life fall head over heels with someone else—someone who’s not her.
Mason Long used to think the mountain’s call was everything he was looking forward to. Except when he finds out he’s next, he doesn’t want it. He’s happy with life the way it is now with his twin Miller, his brother from another mother Huxley, and his best friend, Paige, who he always wanted more with but never wanted to risk their friendship.

But now Paige keeps running off whenever the Call is mentioned, and when he catches her trying to leave with a suitcase in her hand, Mason knows he has to make her stay. So he kisses her, then he kidnaps her, and now he’ll do anything to keep her.

All that’s left to know is what the Bear Mountain spirit will have to say about a founding son taking their destiny into their own hands…or have they?
