Summary
Dean Winchester is a top-notch horse trainer. He’s worked on the family horse ranch since he was big enough to sit a horse. The people around town smile fondly at his “ways” like eating the same breakfast at Missouri’s diner, paying cash, having his bestie Charlie do his books and pay the bills. He doesn’t answer text messages: “Just call me, dammit.” Sam criticizes him, but he shrugs and says “if it ain’t broke, don’t break it.”
Cas Novak has a Ph.D. in Speech/Language Pathology, and has spent much of his sabbatical year writing his “publish or perish” book. Still reeling from a nasty divorce that raked up his shameful past, Cas is looking for a peaceful, quiet place to edit his book, and maybe heal old wounds. A student from one of his online seminars, Eileen Leahy-Winchester, offers her brother-in-law Dean’s cabin, because it’s a “really peaceful place, Cas.”
As Dean and Cas grow closer, Cas begins to suspect that Dean’s “ways” may be hiding a painful secret. In turn, Dean suspects that Cas may have a big secret of his own. When a dangerous storm threatens Dean’s most cherished horse, his secret is exposed. But can Cas overcome his own shame to help Dean, and will Dean let him?
