When Nicole's car skids off a snowy mountain road, a mysterious stranger pulls her from danger—and suddenly she's snowbound in his secluded home, where an undeniable attraction blooms between them. Michael is everything she's never known she needed: understanding, passionate, and seemingly written just for her, but the secrets he guards and the strange details she notices begin to unravel a mystery far bigger than she imagined. As their connection deepens and the truth threatens to surface, Nicole must navigate the terrifying line between what she feels for him and what he might actually be. This is a gorgeously atmospheric romance that will have you questioning what you'd risk for love—even when that love defies explanation.
