Mr. September: A Spicy Runaway Bride, Mountain Man and City Girl Romcom Novel (Kodiak Men Book 2)

Evie Aldridge ran from the altar to save her soul.

Manhattan’s “Runaway Bride” had a perfect fiancé, a perfect life, and a perfectly synchronized wedding. But standing at the altar, Evie realized her world was a perfectly calculated lie. Now, she’s fleeing the paparazzi, the socialites, and the media scandal straight to the one place nobody will look: remote Alaska.

Her mission: find herself and fund her foundation’s biggest project. Her biggest obstacle? Brad Keller, the ridiculously handsome wilderness guide whose photo is everywhere and who knows a performance when he sees one.

Brad, aka “Mr. September” in the famous charity calendar, is rooted in the Alaskan wilderness and deeply suspicious of “glamour tourists”. He sees Evie as an impulsive socialite with too much luggage and not enough sense. He’s a man of authenticity and action, whose easy smile hides a life shaped by tragedy and deep loyalty. He’s the total opposite of everything Evie thought she wanted—which makes the attraction immediate, undeniable, and strictly forbidden by Tom’s camp policy.

When their forced proximity leads to passionate kisses, vulnerable confessions, and earth-shattering naked moose encounters, Evie finally finds a life worth living.

But when her image-obsessed ex leaks their private photo and threatens to destroy her reputation, Evie is forced back to Manhattan. She signs a $5 Million dollar contract with Preston: three months of fake reconciliation to save her foundation.

Now, with her new life a strategic performance, and Brad a viral sensation whom she must publicly disavow, Evie has to make the ultimate choice: the safe, calculated life that saves her career... or the authentic, messy love that could save her soul.
