M?ns Elemander had A Plan. A researched and well-thought-out one, devised to help him avoid getting lost while foraging for mushrooms in an unfamiliar forest. But his cell phone battery didn’t get the memo, died unexpectedly, and thwarted The Plan, leaving M?ns with a basket full of mushrooms, but no idea where to go. Until the sounds of someone chopping wood reaches him.<br><br>M?ns follows the sound and finds a quaint cabin ... and its owner, Viggo Moberg. Viggo is kind, understanding of the situation, and willing to help. He’s also smoking hot and their connection is instant, threatening to ignite and burn down the woods. Will the sparks burn fast and fizzle out, or will the attraction grow roots, just like the trees in the forest?

They Met in the Woods

Dinner at the cabin sounds fantastic. When? What do I need to bring? And I hope you enjoy thinking about me in the shower. I know I did :-)


I spend the rest of my evening with a smile on my face


As expected, Sunday and Monday are extremely busy with work. On Monday, I steal a few minutes between prep meetings to sort out my phone situation, and since my warranty has expired, I decide to buy a new one. I don’t have time to go to the store, so I end up ordering one online, resigning myself to live without my personal phone until Friday.


The trip is insane but productive. We spend twelve hours a day getting the project back on track, and when I return to the hotel at night, I have the energy for only a shower and room service before crashing for the night.


Viggo and I exchange a few short emails, agreeing on the details for Friday—bring dessert if you want it, I don’t bake—but nothing more than that.
