Adler's Hart

I’m a loner. Never getting too comfortable or allowing anyone to get too close. So when I log onto the hook-up app on my last night in Ketchikan, Alaska, I assume it’ll be a quick lay before I go south for the winter. Until I see the man who shows up at my door. He’s young, wide-eyed, and perfect.   All I want is a one-night stand with no attachment, I should’ve known things would be different with a man named Hart. After the best night of my life, I’m desperate to run. Except we’re snowed in.   I try to keep him at a distance. But there’s something about him that has me opening up, letting him in against my better judgement.   Suddenly I don’t want to be alone anymore. I want to be with him. My Hart.   *This story is coupled with Bossy Mr Frosty by K Webster in the paperback, Brigs Ferry Bait, available on my website. *Adler’s Hart was originally a 15k word short story with a happy for now.
