If a tree falls in the forest, he’s falling harder. When city-girl Harper arrives in the Caledonian Forest in Scotland, her hopes for her holiday are quickly dashed. She’d planned a whimsical, autumnal writing retreat, to finish her fan-fiction romance novel. But ghosted by her scammer rental host, she discovers that the cosy log cabin she’d booked for her solo getaway does not actually exist. Miles away from any hotel, she wanders through the woods until she finds the hot local woodcutter Reuben.

The last thing Reuben needs right now is a pretty girl distracting him, but he can’t leave Harper stranded. So he reluctantly allows Harper to stay in his tiny lumberjack’s cabin for the night. He will sleep at his house outside the forest, then return tomorrow to turf Harper out so he can get back to his strenuous task of splitting logs for the locals’ firewood.

But once Harper sees Reuben’s axe swing, she is determined to cut through his gruff exterior. She has a feeling this man might be the perfect cure for her writer’s block.

Reuben can’t help inviting Harper to extend her one-night stay to two, then three, then four. And pretty soon, he can’t deny that even without firewood, something would still be kindling between them.

This spicy autumnal romance features a HEA ending with BookTok's hottest lumberjack love interest.
