I found her half-buried in the mud, cold and trembling. When her eyes met mine, something ancient cracked open in my chest. I wasn’t just rescuing her. I was claiming her.

Caleb
I ran into burning buildings for a living. Saved some. Lost others. Left pieces of myself in the ones I couldn’t reach.
But after the last mission broke something I couldn’t fix, I walked off the grid and built a cabin nobody could find.
Then I found her.
Half-buried on the trail, drenched and freezing, wearing curves like armor and fire behind her smart mouth.
I didn’t ask why she was running. I just picked her up and carried her home.
She rests easy now, wrapped in my flannel and the medal they gave me for saving lives before I stopped believing I could.
All I can think about is carving her name into the place I sleep so she knows this isn’t temporary.
She says she doesn’t belong anywhere. But she belongs here. With me.

Ivy
I was just trying to survive the drive. A music career in ashes, a reputation shattered, no place left to call home.
Then the mountain swallowed the road, and he pulled me out.
Caleb is everything I never knew I needed. Scarred, silent, built like the forest itself.
He speaks with his hands and protects like it’s in his blood.
The cabin is remote. The storm is relentless.
I can’t stop thinking about the way he touches me, like my body was made to rest in his hands.
Maybe I came here to disappear.
But I think I just found the one man who sees everything I am, and loves me for it.
