She came for directions. He came to close the door. The grid had other plans.
When travel influencer Christine Park's car breaks down on a remote Montana road, the nearest property belongs to Ryan Cole - ex-Marine, off-grid prepper, and the last person who wants company. She just needs to use his phone. He's already reaching for the door handle.
Then the power grid goes down across half the country, and Ryan's automated lockdown protocol does exactly what it was designed to do.
The blast doors seal. Thirty days. No override.
Christine is now trapped underground with a man who speaks in monosyllables, eats freeze-dried food without apology, and has strong opinions about the inefficiency of ring lights. Ryan is now sharing his meticulously designed bunker with a woman who has 800,000 followers, a skincare routine he doesn't understand, and an unsettling ability to ask the exact question he doesn't want to answer.
She's determined to stay positive. He's determined to stay distant. The bunker has other plans for both of them.
Thirty Days Underground is a slow-burn, grumpy/sunshine contemporary romance about a woman who brings light into every room she enters - and the man who keeps forgetting to leave it on after she's gone.
Standalone. HEA guaranteed. Steam level: warm.
