Mountain Man Destiny
About
She needed a fake boyfriend. He’s been hers for years—she just didn’t know it.
Fiona
I didn’t mean to kiss Alden Casey.
Okay. That’s a lie.
When the brewery fills with men who won’t take a hint, I grab the quietest, steadiest mountain man in the room and announce he’s my boyfriend.
Alden doesn’t blink.
He just pulls me close like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
Years ago, when an injury ended his Olympic dreams, I brought him soup and sat beside him while the rest of the world moved on. I thought it was nothing. Just a small kindness.
Now I’m realizing it was so much more.
This was supposed to be fake.
But the way he looks at me?
It feels like destiny.
Alden
Fiona Wyatt has always been mine.
She just didn’t know it yet.
When she kisses me and whispers, “Pretend,” I don’t hesitate. I walk her home. I keep my hand at her waist. I make it very clear she’s not available.
After my injury, she was the one who stayed. She never saw me as broken. I never forgot.
I’ve chosen her quietly for years.
Now I’m done being quiet.
And when I claim her in front of everyone?
There won’t be anything fake about it.
