Ash and Antler

To keep her younger sisters alive during a brutal Montana winter, Nola June Parish poaches on federal land, unaware she is being watched by Rhett Caldwell, the game warden assigned to her case. Rather than arresting her, Rhett harbors her secretly in his isolated warden station when a devastating fire destroys her cabin during a severe blizzard. Locked together as the storm rages outside, Nola and Rhett navigate an escalating psychological tension born of surveillance, unspoken desire, and hidden intentions. As the weather clears and their complex web of secrets unravels, both must confront the dangerous truth behind her survival and his protection.
