Out here in the wild, I don't ask twice, I take what's mine.
And she's mine.
I'm Kash Cade Strickland, son of Calvin Arthur Strickland.
Ex-Major. Ex-military. Now I run Grizzly Ridge Timber with my cousin Asher. We build cabins, fallen trees, and keep to ourselves in these Oregon woods. Life's quiet until she crashes into me. Taking pictures on my land.
Aleena Merrickson.
Thirty, fierce, and soft in all the right places. A freelance photographer and blogger who's curvy as sin and twice as tempting. She's in Timber Falls to capture the beauty of the mountains for her blog.
One bed. One long night that changes everything.

She's used to running from the noise, from pressure, and from a past that still haunts her. But I see through her walls. She doesn't know it yet, but she's the calm to my storm. The only softness this hardened heart has ever craved. But the past has claws, and hers followed her here.
I may have scars. I may be damaged. But I've built a life I can stand on. And I'll fight to the bone to protect what's mine.
Out here?
I survive.
I build.
I protect.
And I never let go of what belongs to me.
