Nadia Brown doesn’t do family. She’s fiercely independent, brilliant, and the only woman in New York completely immune to my charm.

The Mountain Man’s Rescuing Instinct by Tiffany Bloom

The Mountain Man’s Rescuing Instinct by Tiffany Bloom

She crashed into a ditch outside my garage during a storm, exhausted and burned out. I towed her car, gave her shelter, and decided I’m not letting her walk back into the life that’s breaking her.

Ewen

I left the firehouse because saving everyone cost too much. Now I watch the mountain instead. The roads. The storms.
When an overworked corporate manager crashes into a ditch outside my garage, I do what comes naturally. I take over.

Cleo Fleming is sharp, capable, and carrying more than she lets on. The second I wrap her in my jacket, I see it: The burnout. The strain. The way she’s been holding everything together alone.

The town sees she’s mine. I don’t correct them. Then the storm traps her in my cabin. The power goes out. The walls come down.

She came here to finish a project and leave. I’m going to give her space to breathe. And while my hands ground her and my body worships her curves, I decide she’s not walking back into a life that’s breaking her.

Cleo

I had a plan: Finish the project. Keep my head down. Don’t need anything from anyone.
Crashing my car wasn’t part of it. Neither was Ewen Freed.

He pulls me out of the ditch like it’s nothing. He fixes my car. Handles the logistics. Takes over before I have to ask. He’s steady, silent, and competent in a way that makes my shoulders finally drop.

Then the storm traps us. There’s only one bed. The town makes assumptions about us. He doesn’t correct them. Neither do I.

He sees the exhaustion I’ve been hiding. The pressure I never put down. When he says I’m not leaving his mountain, his cabin, or his life, I realize I don’t want to.

Shutting Off the Gas to Gaslighting: Reclaiming Your Reality and Power in a World That Tries to Deny It

About Shutting Off the Gas to Gaslighting: Reclaiming Your Reality and Power in a World That Tries to Deny It:

Shutting Off the Gas to Gaslighting is a powerful and eye-opening guide for anyone who has ever questioned their own reality in a relationship, workplace, or everyday interaction. Blending therapeutic insight with a consciousness-based approach, John Wheeler invites readers into a deeper understanding of gaslighting—not just as a behavior, but as a dynamic that erodes self-trust over time.

Through relatable examples, clear distinctions, and practical tools, this book goes beyond simply identifying gaslighting. It helps readers recognize the patterns, understand the energetic and psychological impact, and begin reclaiming their awareness without needing to confront or fix others. Rather than positioning the reader as a victim, Wheeler offers a path back to personal authority, where clarity replaces confusion and choice replaces reaction.

This is more than a book about gaslighting—it’s a guide to trusting yourself again. Whether you’re navigating difficult relationships or simply seeking a deeper connection to your own knowing, Shutting Off the Gas to Gaslighting provides a grounded, empowering perspective that stays with you long after you’ve finished reading.
