Grand Pre 1749- The British are encroaching upon Acadian lands. Where does ones loyalty land?

*WATTYS WINNER 2024* Mateo Casparij is masquerading as an aloof mountain man on a self-imposed quest to avoid anything likened to sex or a relationship and he's come to love his quiet Coloradan life in the snowy ski town of Crested Butte. There's just one problem with his new life. Maia Jefferies. The painfully beautiful novelist that lives in the cottage next door. And he has a terrible, awful crush on her. Her infectious smile, witty banter and voluptuous curves make him want to break his vow of impotence and be whatever she needs. Maia is on deadline for her next novel and after a nasty breakup with her former muse and the man she thought was her Prince Charming, she's been struggling to craft a romance worthy of her best-selling author status. Yet, spending time with her neighbor, Mateo, appears to be doing the trick to help her overcome her writer's block and against her better judgement to never work with a muse again, she hires him to be her inspiration. And as her story flows, so do Maia and Mateo's feelings for each other. But when Maia's ex comes crawling back and Mateo's past rears its head, the two will have to face the feelings they've been trying to ignore or risk losing the love they've been looking for all along.
