Mason | What’s Mine to Keep (ALT)

"Every line I swore I wouldn’t cross… I’ve already crossed it in my head a hundred times."

Sheriff Mason Halstead has lived six years in quiet, rigid solitude. Until you arrived at his doorstep, carrying his runaway son’s child. He swore it was duty: a roof over your head, food on the table, a steady hand when nights stretched too long. But routine has blurred into something dangerous.

The flannel shirts you borrow, the midnight feedings you share, the silence you keep together—it all pushes Mason toward a line he knows he shouldn’t cross. Beneath the lawman’s discipline simmers loneliness, possession, and a yearning he can’t smother.

Now his son has returned, claiming his place. And Mason? He’s torn between what’s right… and what he can’t stop wanting.
