But safety draws attention. Word gets around. Unmarked SUVs idle near the turnout, and a polite knock on the door carries real danger. Rhys can't be both lawman and bystander. He files refuge papers, steps between Liam and the life he fled, and offers something different protection without ownership, comfort without chains.
The pull between them builds slow, shaped by honest conversation and the clean scent of pine drifting through cracked windows. When trouble reaches their porch, Rhys and Liam face it together, choosing each other under the open winter sky. Still, the season brings its own trials: legal threats, old bruises, and the question of what home becomes when you've only survived by running.
Under the mistletoe and the harbor lights, can Liam trust a love that doesn't trap him?
