Bachelor 3: The Obsessive Ex-Military

I never meant to bid on a man… but the moment his storm-gray eyes meet mine, everything inside me changes.

I’m Iris Whitfield. Elementary school teacher. Small-town girl. Safe choices. Quiet life.
Then I walk into a Valentine’s Day charity auction and see him standing on that stage, silent, guarded, and completely out of place.
Silas Northwood doesn’t smile. He doesn’t flirt. He looks like a man carrying ghosts he refuses to name.
And when no one fights for him, I do something reckless.

I raise my hand.
What starts as a charity bid turns into a weekend I never saw coming… snow-covered mountains, a secluded cabin, and a man whose presence makes my heart race and my walls crumble. Because Silas doesn’t just see me… he claims me.

But when the weekend ends and reality waits for us back home, am I brave enough to believe this isn’t just a fleeting escape, but the beginning of something that could change everything?
