Synopsis

There are two problems with getting too close to Luc Moreau. First—he’s silent, stubborn, and built like a bad idea in flannel. Second—when he finally touches me, I forget every reason I should keep my distance.

Now I’m stranded at a remote lodge in Patagonia with a grumpy French mountain man who says almost nothing… which is deeply inconvenient, because my body keeps answering.

Emme Wilder knows charm is a weapon—and she wields it well. As the charismatic vendor-relations director for her family’s luxury travel company, she has built her career on partnership, laughter, and perfectly managed chaos. But when Wilder Horizons sends her to Patagonia to secure a remote eco-lodge for its newest luxury adventure, she meets the one man who refuses to be charmed.

Luc Moreau is stone in human form—quiet, stubborn, and maddeningly self-sufficient. He carved Refugio Cielo out of the Patagonian wilderness with his own two hands, and he has no interest in surrendering any part of it to a flirtatious corporate outsider who smells like sunshine and paperwork.

Then snowstorms close in. The power cuts out. And forced proximity turns their professional standoff into a dangerously slow-burning attraction neither of them can ignore.

Between mountainside treks, unexpected penguins, and the kind of silence that hums, Emme begins to see the warmth hidden beneath Luc’s carefully constructed walls. And Luc starts to remember what it feels like to want more than solitude and survival.

Hooked By You is a steamy grumpy-sunshine romantic comedy set against the breathtaking wilds of Patagonia. This opposites-attract contemporary romance delivers forced proximity, sharp banter, emotional depth, a fiercely capable heroine, and a quiet French hero whose actions speak much louder than words.

Perfect for readers who crave adventurous destination romance, laugh-out-loud family moments, stubborn hearts learning to bend, and slow-burn heat that sneaks up like sunrise after a storm.

Contains: Adult language, explicit adult situations, and a scandalous amount of flannel. Also: power outages, penguins, mountain-lodge isolation, and one unforgettable night beneath the southern stars. Recommended for readers 18+.
