Holden
I've spent five years running from my father's name.
Richard Davidson destroyed this community—broke families, drove good people to desperation. I disappeared the day they arrested him, became Jake Miller, construction worker. Nobody.
Then vigilantes come for me with their own brand of justice. Injured, I stumble onto Rowan Hayes' mountain ranch during the worst blizzard in decades. She patches me up without knowing I'm the son of the man who ruined her life.
I should've left. Would have, if the storm hadn't trapped us. If she hadn't looked at me like I was worth saving. If her hands hadn't been the first gentle touch I'd felt in years.
When she discovers who I really am, the attraction burning between us turns to ash. Until she learns my secret.
And then she risks everything for me.
Every snowbound moment pulls us closer—shared moments, the way she cares for me like she does her horses, learning what it feels like to connect.
I should go before I take more from her than my father already did. Before I forget that happiness isn't for someone like me.
Maybe I'm just my father's son after all—taking what I want and calling it redemption.
The Winter Between Us is a just kisses, no-spice, heartfelt cowboy romance with forced proximity, a hero seeking redemption, a blizzard that won't let them hide, and a slow-burn connection that proves sometimes love means choosing each other despite the cost.
