Book Description:
Two broken hearts. One deadly mission. And just one avalanche dog standing between them and a killer.
Harley Tatum made a vow to never return to Copper Mountain, Alaska, where a drug dealer destroyed her family and the man she loved walked away. But when that same criminal escapes and justice calls her name, she has no choice but to face everything she buried.
Jericho Bowie remembers things differently. She left him. And he's spent years wondering why. Now Harley needs his search-and-rescue dog, Orlando, to track a fugitive through treacherous mountain terrain--and Jericho refuses to let her go alone. Not again.
But as they push deep into the frozen wilderness, the hunter becomes the hunted. Old feelings resurface at the worst possible time, and survival depends on two people who don't know if they can trust each other--or their own hearts.
My Thoughts: Wow!
Wow! This is absolutely fantastic! The suspense and intrigue kept me on the edge of my seat. Harley and Jericho's interactions had me super frustrated one minute and smiling the next. These two had so much to work through, which was key to their working together as they overcame past hurts and mistakes while working on the mission at hand.
The balance of romance, intrigue, overcoming, and forgiveness was spot on. The faith messages were so impactful that they not only had a huge impact on Harley and Jericho but also on me, as they had me reflecting on multiple occasions.
This fast-paced romantic suspense is an absolute must-read that I highly recommend.
