    Summary

    Fall, 1902, Texas. Henry only wants a roof that doesn’t leak and a life that doesn’t hurt. Alex arrives with nothing but a ruined past, a stubborn sense of honor, and a list of skills Henry desperately needs.

    A partnership is the safest solution.
    A temporary arrangement, they tell themselves.
    Just until spring.

    But as the long winter closes in, firewood isn’t the only thing they learn to share—and trust isn’t the only thing quietly, inevitably growing between them.

    Or, as Alex and Henry are forced to live together to survive, how long can they really stick it out?
