Beauregard Stone lives a life of solitude in the snow-blanketed town of Windeville, Maine. The burly lumberjack is a man of few words and even fewer smiles. He hasn't spoken much since his husband died eight years ago. Now, each day bleeds into the next as Stone loses himself in his woodshop and lumber-hauling business.

But when Royal Peterson, a burnt-out corporate finance executive from Manhattan, stumbles into Windeville, everything changes.

Stone isn't the kind of man who fawns over the strangers who wander into town, especially not ones who look like Royal. Stone's too rough around the edges, convinced he's too old, too grizzled, too broken for someone as young and gorgeous as Royal. But when he sees the same sadness in Royal's warm brown eyes that's reflected in his own, Stone's defenses begin to crumble.

As their paths continue to cross in unexpected ways, Stone and Royal start to realize healing and loving aren't always as complicated as they seem. But just as their bond begins to grow, Royal faces a difficult choice: does he stay in Windeville, or does he return to his fast-paced life, leaving Stone to face the cold, lonely winter nights once again?

Contains mature themes.
