Ryder Sinclair couldn’tkeep the scowl off his face. This girl was trouble and she had entered their quiet and peaceful lives through a back road, literally. They had put up the concrete barrier to cordon off their property.
Ryder and his two best friends, Sawyer Kelly and Karter Rawlings had worked hard to earn that kind of life.
Retired from the military and after doing a stint of private secret operations for the government, they had swapped the stench of death for that of the open air deep in the wilderness. They had swapped their weapons for axes and together the three of them ran a lumber company.
They had grown up in the same area, their dads had been lumberjacks too and their grandfathers as well, so it made sense they would find their peace here doing what their families had done for generations.
After retiring from the special forces they bought a small lumber company and made it prosperous enough that they could employ some people, and take care of themselves.
The money they had earned, well over millions as private contractors for the government seemed to be languishing in their bank accounts. They had no use for it.
Karter’s passion was fishing and Sawyer’s was carving things out of wood. And Ryder, as the oldest of the three of them, just wanted to be left the fuck alone. There were only two people he would die for, Sawyer and Karter, the rest of the world could disappear for all he cared.
And now fuck, this girl with her silver-pink hair, all silky and scented, her expressive blue eyes and luxuriously soft lips, currently stowed over Sawyer’s shoulder, had stumbled into their territory, uninvited.
If Karter hadn’t spotted her from their cabin on the mountain with his binoculars, she would have ended up dead on their property. Now they felt responsible for her. Their natural protective instinct to protect women and children had kicked in and they couldn’t leave her there to her own devices. Like he said she would have ended up dead.
She also had a mouth on her but he planned to lay down all the rules as soon as they arrived at the cabin.
He gritted his teeth at the memory of her ass in her skin-tight leather skirt. But the scent of her, prominent even through the snow now raging around them, seemed to linger permanently in the air around him.
The storm couldn’t end quickly enough for him so they could send her on her way to wherever it was she came from.
Chapter Three
––––––––
Harper could not believewhat was happening to her. She also couldn’t be sure if she’d been kidnapped or rescued. She just didn’t know.
Her hair was completely ruined, her ass in the air was snow soaked and she didn’t know the name of the man who had slung her over his shoulder.
How rude.
Not to mention the other one who seemed wholly irritated by her presence. He could have just left her there as she asked instead of hitting her over the head with a club and carrying her to their cave, metaphorically speaking of course.
