He Had Not Opened the Front Gate for Company in Seven Winters and She Did Not Use the Gate

In the dust of 1883 New Mexico, Pauline Quinn rides through a gap in a stranger's fence to bury her dog under a cottonwood tree - and finds Dexter Fairchild, a man who shut his gate to the world seven winters ago after losing everything he loved, silently picking up a spade and digging beside her without being asked. What begins as one act of quiet kindness slowly unravels seven years of solitude, as two stubborn, wounded people learn that the bravest thing either of them can do is leave a gate standing open. #wildwest #love #wildwestlove #romance #frontier
