A gentle giant omega. A struggling alpha. Trapped together in a snowstorm.
Wren considers himself a sad excuse for a human being. His life has been a colossal mess and a struggle for as long as he could remember. In the past two months, he’s caught his boyfriend cheating on him with another alpha, consequently relapsed, and then found out about his estranged mother’s death. While he should feel relieved that the monster who ruined his life and took so much from him is dead, her shadow lingers in the form of the childhood home he inherited. Wren is forced to return to the remote mountain town he escaped as a teenager and go through her belongings, unsure if this experience will transform or break him completely.
Russell is content with his slow, quiet life as the owner of a general store high up on the mountain. After returning from the army, he’s happy to accept that his life should be what it’s always been: simple and insignificant. The same way he’s heard people describe him since he could remember. But the gentle giant finds out that perhaps he isn’t as content with solitude as he thought when a blizzard traps a somber, handsome city alpha in his store, and forces both of them to go through the most extraordinary few days of their lives.
