Wife of the Long Winter
A Captive Marriage-in-Crisis RomanceBy Elsa Rourke
Length8h 57m
About this audiobook
They married for a treaty and never filed the papers. Now they're snowed in with eleven years of silence.
Rowan kept the mountain lodge. Ivar kept the hunting rights. Neither of them ever said the marriage was over, because neither wanted to be the one to say it first.
Then an early blizzard closes the pass with Ivar still at the lodge, and the two of them share a woodpile, a rifle, and a roof that leaks in a gale for five months.
There is no other woman in this story. There is no betrayal. There is only the winter Rowan once asked Ivar to stay through — and the reason he left for the coast instead, which he has never told her.
In February, on the longest night, it comes out. When the pass opens and the dissolution papers arrive, Ivar throws them in the stove without asking.
Rowan is furious. Then she laughs.
A captive marriage-in-crisis romance about weather, silences, and finishing an argument at last.
