The Cabin: A Cozy Grumpy-Sunshine MM Romance (The House Collection Book 2)

In the quiet of the woods, they are about to discover that some people just settle in, piece by piece, until your solitude doesn't feel like safety anymore; it feels like an empty space waiting to be filled.JULIANI came to the cabin to disappear.
