Story Notes
Summary
In Black Briar Hollow, Tennessee, the roads don't stay paved for long—and neither do the rules. Boone Granger is a mountain man born into the most feared family in the county. A former recon soldier, he's quiet, watchful, and fiercely protective of the people he loves. Outsiders see a dangerous man. His family sees the one they call when trouble comes home. Ivy Mae Bennett arrives in Black Briar Hollow looking for a fresh start after escaping an abusive relationship. She buys the old general store and transforms it into **The Briar Patch**, a cozy bookstore and bakery that brings warmth back to a town that's forgotten it. Everyone warns Ivy to stay away from the Grangers. Instead, Boone quietly begins protecting her—from fixing things in the middle of the night to standing watch outside her shop. But when Ivy's past follows her into the mountains, it crosses onto Granger land. And in Black Briar Hollow, the Grangers don't call the police. They call family. A dark, slow-burn mountain romance featuring a possessive but devoted hero, found family, suspense, and a guaranteed HEA.

Tatouie: There wasn’t anything I didn’t like except maybe more of a finality to the European Charter that was up to no good. I feel like they wouldn’t have left so quietly. Otherwise loved the story, great rhythm can’t wait to read more books.
