Charming the Maverick

A wounded heart. A determined dreamer. One mountain snowstorm will change everything...

Railroad surveyor Mack built a solitary life, trusting no one but his brother. When tragedy strikes and his brother lies gravely injured, Mack is forced to accept help from the one woman who threatens everything he's built: lovely, faith-filled Josie and her orphaned companion Ruthie.

Josie is sunshine to Mack's storm—a dreamer who sees God's hand in all things and the good in every soul, even one as guarded as Mack's. She draws people in, makes them feel cherished, and believes love can heal the deepest wounds. But Mack has spent years building walls around his battered heart, convinced he's unworthy of the very things she offers so freely.

Trapped on a treacherous mountain, surviving an avalanche and brutal elements, Mack discovers the greatest danger isn't the wilderness—it's Josie herself. Because this irresistible woman makes him want impossible things: a home, a family, someone to love.
