Rancher and mountain climber Josh Conway has never backed down from a challenge. So when a photographer disappears in the wilderness during a blizzard, Josh answers the emergency call and leaps into action. Yet he’s soon shocked to find the person in “distress” is doing fine-and she’s a gorgeous blond spitfire who’s as brave and bold as he is.

Sierra Moore will stop at nothing to capture the perfect picture, even if it means braving a snowstorm in the mountains. She’s not used to being rescued, especially by a ruggedly handsome cowboy who makes her heart skip a beat. Sierra can’t turn down Josh’s invitation to ride out the storm at the Conway family ranch-and she can’t resist his slow, steamy kisses, either. But this mysterious beauty is hiding a deadly secret. Now as a dangerous force closes in on her, Sierra fears it will destroy everyone she cares about . . . starting with Josh.
