Razorback Hollow by Rene Moore

An unexpected fortune and a luxurious cabin lure Claire Amber to the mountains of West Virginia. She has dreams of a new life in Razorback Hollow, but before she reaches her destination, a near-fatal accident lands her in the hands of Eric Gentry, a mountain man the town calls a freak. When Eric lays eyes on the outsider, he is drawn to her beautiful, intelligent eyes, fiery red hair, and kind spirit. But Eric is hiding a secret that haunts him. He doesn’t only have a deformed appearance; he carries a darkness within him and believes it will never lift.

Yet when Claire looks at him with sweet yearning and without seeing a monster, he dares to hope and risks exposing a past that may send Claire fleeing in horror. As their romance heats up, they are plunged into an ongoing feud between the mountain folk and townspeople. As the situation turns deadly, they must fight for the lives of the Eric’s people. Claire is determined to find a way to forge a truce between these factions and bring peace to the mountain folk, but her kind heart draws the attention of a vengeful town. Suddenly Eric and Claire find themselves in a situation that could cost them the love they’ve found, the peace they’ve dreamed of, and their lives.
