Ryder Jameson has spent years grappling with the loss of his wife. His parents convince him to move home to Texas, where they can keep a closer eye on him. When Nolan Montgomery moves in next door, a whirlwind of emotions hits, entangling him with feelings he doesn't want and has no idea what to do with.

Nolan Montgomery's past is shadowed by grief, but he is doing all he can to make the best of his situation. His neighbor, Ryder, is acerbic as lemons, but Nolan vows not to hold it against him. A devastating storm hits and brings them closer in unexpected ways.

Both men must navigate their vulnerabilities as they try out friendship first. But just being friends isn't enough.

When someone comes to town to wreak havoc in Nolan's life, everything in Ryder's present is at risk. Can they survive the truth that threatens to rip them apart? Will they discover that the fault next door can sometimes lead to healing the fault line in one's heart?

Moving to a new town is stressful for Alex, but he loves working as a veterinarian. Living in Foggy Basin seems perfect…until he's asked to participate in the annual date auction. Revealing he's gay to the whole town seems unwise, but it's a good cause, and what could it hurt?

After being a jerk to Alex, Ryan decides to make it up to him by bidding on his date at the auction. The event is for charity and means nothing…or does it?

Ryan doesn't expect the emotions and desire, and Alex is surprised by Ryan's interest. Can they become more than friends, or should they step away from desire and ignore the pull between them?
