When Dwayne Lameko—protector, playboy, and ALIAS security specialist—is assigned to work with Maria Torres, he tries to keep his distance. She may be the strongest woman he's ever met, but after surviving eight years of captivity, the last thing she needs is him complicating her recovery.

Maria is done being treated like she might break. She's determined to reclaim her life, starting with the one man who makes her feel safe and desired. But when what should be a simple protection assignment in a Lake Tahoe cabin turns deadly, their temporary escape becomes a dangerous trap.

Because the greatest risk isn't to their lives—it's to their hearts.

A scorching romantic suspense featuring a trapped-in-a-snowy-cabin forced proximity romance, protective alpha hero, survivor heroine coming into her strength, and the healing power of love against all odds.
