She’s his daughter’s innocent teacher, and he just rescued her from a Russian mobster. To keep her safe, he takes her as his pretend wife for Christmas. As danger looms, will their fake marriage turn into something real before the new year?
Noelle
When I left New York to finish college in Colorado, I thought I was leaving my ties to the Bratva behind me for good. Unfortunately, I could not have been more wrong. I’m fresh into my first year teaching middle school when I’m kidnapped by my dead boyfriend’s uncle, now a powerful Pakhan who wants to keep me quiet—permanently. Lucky for me, the very handsome father of one of my students also happens to be a detective for the Denver PD, and he saves me from Viktor’s evil clutches. To keep me safe so I can testify against the mobster, Shane offers to take me undercover with him to his mother’s home in Hideaway Mountain—as his fake bride. I’m thrilled at the prospect of spending the holidays with a family of my very own for the first time in my life, even if it is just pretend. However, it’s not long before the ruse begins to feel all too real. I quickly grow to love Gracie, who was already one of my favorite students, and her sweetheart of a grandma. And when her dad continues to look at me with so much protective hunger, I can feel myself falling for him too. But will Shane still want to keep me when he learns the truth about my past?
Shane
Noelle is my daughter’s seventh-grade English teacher—and even though I shouldn’t—I can’t deny the longing I feel for her after our first meeting at parent/teacher conferences before winter break. When my daughter accidentally leaves her phone behind at school, I’m not annoyed but excited for the excuse to see Noelle one more time before we leave town. Gracie’s absentmindedness ends up being a crucial stroke of luck when her forgotten phone allows me to track and save Noelle from being kidnapped by a well-known Russian kingpin. Once she’s safely in my arms, I know I have to protect her. So, I ask Noelle to come with me to Hideaway Mountain as my pretend wife, under the guise of keeping her safe. What Noelle doesn’t know is that I have no intention of ever letting her go. I plan to make this beautiful girl my real wifebefore we ring in the New Year.
Welcome to Hideaway Mountain—where the men fall hard and fast for feisty, independent women.
This is book four in the Hideaway Mountain insta-love novella series, featuring a V-card heroine in a small mountain town. Though each book in the Hideaway Mountain and Hideaway Valley universe has interconnected characters, they can all be read as standalone stories. If you love spicy, sweet, and daring small-town romance, then take a trip to Hideaway Mountain. HEA guaranteed!
My personal review, thoughts, & no spoilers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Read by Me.
This was a very sweet holiday read for this reader. I enjoyed reading about Noelle and Shane. This storyline kept this reader engaged from the beginning to the very end. Definitely looking forward to her next book. She is a wonderful storyteller and crafts characters that you enjoy reading about. This again was a wonder holiday read.
