After witnessing a murder, legal investigator Leah Marks flees to Alaska. But the killer has tracked her down and as he chases her into a snow-packed canyon, an avalanche buries them both. Saved by search-and-rescue specialist Cade Warren, Leah longs to tell him the truth. But how can she, without bringing even more danger into Cade’s life ?
She had to escape. She wouldn't use her weapon against him unless she had no other choice. Shooting a police detective, even if he was a dirty cop and a killer, wouldn't win her any points no matter which way you looked at it.
