St. Jude is the patron saint of lost causes.
It’s also the name for an off-the-map town in northern Colorado at the base of the Rocky Mountains. A place where Maddox Foxx spent many a happy summer and one long winter with his Pappy, Garrett (Grey) Foxx.
Grey is gone, but his hundred-plus acres and cabin are waiting to be claimed.
Dylan (DJ) Silver is twenty years old. A mud-slinging rifle-toting tomboy by design who can’t wait to skip town. She works at the family sporting goods place and was a friend and confidant to Grey. She mourns his loss more than anyone.
Word is a grandson has been left the property she loved to visit to do with as he pleases. His pleasure? Leave the city behind and build a hunter’s paradise.
As winter approaches, the pair find their paths curiously cross and crisscross, and that includes property lines.
What will happen when the snow starts, and the roads become blocked? Will these two be able to resist their urges, or will they find that age is nothing but a number and love can bloom even in the land of the lost causes?
