Brooks by Kali Hart

Charlotte:

When my best friend asked me to abandon the city for the small-town life, I took a chance and said yes.
I was unhappy in the corporate world and ready for a change.
I also made a promise to focus on myself for one year.
A whole year to avoid all complications, especially of the male variety.
That promise was a whole lot easier to keep until Brooks Montgomery showed up in my life.
The man is determined to win me over, no matter how many times I shoot him down.
He promises he won’t stop until I give in.
The secret truth?
I don’t want him to.

Brooks:

I’ve known since the first moment I saw Charlotte that she was meant to be mine.
I’ve come into the coffee shop every day in pursuit of her.
I’m relentless when I see something I want.
Day after day she shoots me down.
Until her best friend decides to help me out.
One kiss could change everything, if only I can get the opportunity.
I’ll do whatever it takes to convince her that I’m exactly what she needs.

The six of us made a pact. We’ve survived basic together, shared duty stations, and gone to war together. But the needs of the Army have separated us multiple times. That’s why we agreed that when each of us got out, we’d each settle down in the same mountainside town of Three Rivers. It was a favorite place to get away on holiday weekends when the six of us were stationed together in Alaska, and as veterans now we can’t imagine anywhere better. A place filled with fresh mountain air, friendly people who are there when you need them but happy to keep to themselves when you don’t, and unexpected love none of us saw coming.

Sweet & steamy short story insta-love romance with an older mountain man and younger curvy woman. NO cliffhangers. NO cheating. Guaranteed HEA.
