When a training exercise in the frozen New Hampshire wilderness turns deadly, a Navy SEAL and a tough former cop must confront both a serial killer stalking the snowy backwoods and the undeniable attraction simmering between them. As Tracy, a young Troubleshooters receptionist, vanishes during a mock rescue operation, Jenk and Lindsey realize they're in a race against time, a brutal blizzard, and a cunning predator who knows the terrain far too well. With the body count rising and hope fading fast, these two elite operatives have to put aside the complicated feelings from their impulsive night together and trust each other completely—because saving Tracy might be the only way to save themselves. It's a nail-biting blend of high-stakes danger, heart-pounding suspense, and the kind of forced-proximity romance that makes you believe in second chances.
