The Peppermint Villain ^Featured

There’s no way I can resist heading out to Gran’s Montana ranch when she contacts me out of nowhere.

Not when my mother is the only family I’ve ever known. Not even with the shiver of apprehension running down my spine when I drive through the huge timber gates.

That feeling is never wrong, though, and now I’m here alone. Who killed Gran? I can’t believe the town legend of a mysterious creature, but there was that strange smell… Still, the handsome officer on the case seems certain that Gran angered “the bear” and that I might be next if I stick around. But I’ve never been good at obeying the rules, especially the warning he gives me about a man who seemed to love Gran more than anyone.

If she trusted him, shouldn’t I? Is finding my roots worth the danger? Maybe this city girl can’t survive the wild, anyway, not without a tall, dark, and handsome Navy Seal. But why does he have to be the only man who doesn’t seem to notice me?
