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 trapped with a grumpy French lodge owner, and the man 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 Wilder Horizons vendor-relations queen, she’s built an empire on partnership, laughter, and perfectly managed chaos. But when she’s sent to Patagonia to secure contracts for a new luxury eco-lodge, she meets a man who refuses to play along.

Luc Moreau is stone in human form—quiet, stubborn, and maddeningly self-sufficient. He built his remote lodge from the ground up, brick by weathered brick, and he doesn’t have time for a flirtatious corporate outsider who smells like sunshine and paperwork. But storms roll in, power cuts out, and proximity turns professional boundaries into something far more dangerous.

Between snow storms, mountainside treks, and the kind of silence that hums, Emme starts to see the cracks in Luc’s armor—and the warmth hidden beneath. And Luc? He starts to remember what it feels like to want more than survival.

Hooked By You is a slow-burn, sunshine-grump romantic comedy set against the breathtaking wilds of Patagonia. Expect tension, banter, and a love story built from sparks, storms, and stubborn hearts learning to bend. Perfect for readers who crave emotional depth, laugh-out-loud moments, and heat that sneaks up like a sunrise after a storm.

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