Hard Winter

A blizzard brought him to my door. A crash left him in my bed. Now, I have to figure out how to let him go when the snow clears.

CADE

I've spent twenty years alone on this mountain for a reason. My heart is a fortress, and I don't let anyone in. Then I found Julian-half-frozen, beautiful, and broken-in a ditch during the worst storm of the decade.

I saved his life, but stripping him out of those wet clothes sparked a fire that threatens to burn my defenses to the ground. He's too young, too city, and running from a past that left him terrified. I should send him away. But now that I've touched him, I don't know if I can.

JULIAN

I didn't have a plan when I fled Seattle; I just drove until the road ran out. Waking up in the arms of a gruff, possessive rancher wasn't on the itinerary, but Cade makes me feel safe for the first time in years.

We're trapped by the snow, and the heat between us is melting the ice, but I know reality is waiting when the storm breaks.

Hard Winter is a high-heat, age-gap, hurt/comfort M/M romance featuring a grumpy rancher, a sunshine artist, and a snowed-in cabin that fits only one bed. It delivers a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
