When nothing is what it seems, who can you trust?
Martin Garrett has sworn to die rather than go back to prison. He'll stop at nothing to reach freedom, but even he can't win over the forces of nature. When he gets caught in a violent snowstorm, he has no choice but to seek shelter. He can't know that the young woman opening the door will change his life forever.
Fleeing her troubled past in Arizona, leaving her loved ones behind, Mia Cassidy has found solace in an isolated cabin in the deep woods of Colorado. She's hesitant to let the tall, hulking, and oddly attractive stranger into her home, but the storm is lethal. She has no way of knowing this chance encounter will rip her from her cocoon and make her question everything she thought she knew.
Trapped together, their unexpected meeting soon turns into a battle of wills and a fight against the irresistible pull between them. When the fragile trust they've built is betrayed, everything comes crashing down. Mia must unravel the secrets and find the truth before it's too late to save either of them.
Publisher's Note: This steamy contemporary love story is not your typical wine and chocolates romance. It has a dark edge but if you're up for the ride there is a guaranteed HEA. It contains elements of mystery, suspense, action, adventure, danger, betrayal, and power exchange.
