Then came the broken leg and the betrayal. Now he's a part-time deputy who's just bought the cabin next door to the town legend. He can't survive a mountain winter without a guide.What starts as a reluctant favor turns into late-night movie marathons, wilderness lessons, and a friendship neither of them saw coming. But Huxley has learned the hard way that love can cut deep. And Bentley isn't sure he even has the words for what he's feeling.When a painful misunderstanding sends Huxley fleeing into his wolf form, maybe for good, Bentley will have to risk everything to bring him home.Funny, heartfelt, and full of found family, What Stays Through Winter is a queer paranormal romcom about healing, second chances, and finding where you belong.Curl up by the fire and fall for the mountain man.
