Two stepbrothers. One cruel will. A year they might not survive. Jesse I left Hell Creek with a split lip and a never look back. Death dragged me home. My stepfather’s will is a trap. Live on the ranch for a year, or lose it all. The catch? I have to do it with Cole. My stepbrother. The golden boy who stayed. The enemy I’ve hated since we were kids. We trade insults by day. But the nights are cold, the ranch is lonely, and the anger is starting to feel a lot like hunger. Cole I stayed. I bled for this land. I held it together with baling twine and grit. Jesse ran. Now he’s back, wearing his city armor and looking at me with eyes that haven't changed. I should hate him. I do hate him. But when a freak snowstorm traps us in a freezing tent for the night, the anger turns into something else. Something heavy. Something dangerous. He’s the one thing I can’t have. And the only thing I need. Welcome to Hell Creek. Where the winters are brutal, the secrets are deep, and the love is strictly forbidden. Hell Creek Boys
