Alice doesn’t have time for Dash Winslow’s charming nonsense. As guardian to her teenage siblings, she’s too busy surviving.
Dash can’t help but flirt with the beautiful, weary waitress, even if his own smile is a shield hiding a tragic past.
When Alice agrees to a delivery favor, she doesn’t expect a historic spring flood to trap her at Dash’s mountain lodge. With the bridge gone and a cold front blasting in, they’re forced to share body heat in a single bed. Walls built from duty and guilt can’t withstand that kind of closeness.
As the town’s Spring Founder’s Day dance arrives, their pretend harmony feels terrifyingly real.
But can a fling survive the return to reality?
Or will they build something permanent from the wreckage?
‘Mountain Man’s Rushing Thaw’ is a steamy, emotional Instalove novella about healing past wounds, the transformative power of vulnerability, and building a bridge to forever when the old one washes away.
It’s the seventh book in the ‘Spring in Savage Hollow’ series, where two wounded souls finding that love isn’t a chain or a penance, but solid ground to build on.

🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ 5-ALARM Drop what you are doing and download 'Montain Man's Spring Fever' immediately. Sheena Bright DELIVERED. I went in wanting a grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, mountain man romance and I got ALL OF IT. Jax is peak book boyfriend material—protective, capable, and knows exactly what he’s doing. And Luna’s “spring fever” mission? So relatable. We’ve all wanted to burn it all down and find a lumberjack to... well, you know.
A delightfully amusing and stirring dip into the fantasy of uncomplicated male-female relations. The book is less a romance and more a deeply satisfying exorcism of modern complexities.It’s a fantasy of being utterly provided for, of surrendering the exhausting mental load of modern life to a man whose biggest concern is the elk trail. Jax isn’t a man; he’s an antidote to the anxieties of the 21st century, conveniently wrapped in flannel.
While the rapid pacing and genre trappings of 'Mountain Man’s Spring Fever' might suggest a superficial narrative, there is a surprisingly tender core to be found here. The story’s real strength lies in its examination of vulnerability. Beneath the steamy exterior lies a delicate and emotionally resonant story about the courage it takes to be truly vulnerable with another person. A more thoughtful exploration of trust and intimacy than the cover might suggest.
