Were Closed

Two writers. One snowbound cabin. A manuscript neither of them expected to write — or survive.

While the Roads Were Closed by A.J. Dawson

The long way
to love.

Elliot Voss arrives at a remote writers' residency expecting solitude. What he gets is Noah Callahan — warm, disarmingly perceptive, and the exact kind of commercially successful romance author Elliot has spent years quietly dismissing.

Snowed in together with nowhere to go, they begin an unlikely collaboration on a shared manuscript. What starts as a negotiation between two very different writers becomes something neither of them knows how to name.
