Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The cold doesn't kill you. It just strips you honest.Quinn Calloway is an elite emergency room nurse who knows exactly how fragile the human body can be. For four years, she survived a highly volatile, abusive marriage to a powerful corporate mogul in Anchorage. But Quinn isn't just running anymore-she's striking back. Stitched into the lining of her backpack is an encrypted drive containing the financial records of her ex-husband's forty-million-dollar money-laundering enterprise. When an unforgiving winter storm grounds every bush plane in the interior, her final chance to reach a federal prosecutor in Nome relies on a single outpost contact-and a sled.Magnus Thorne is a massive, solitary dog musher who has spent fifteen years isolated in the wilderness. Haunted by a past failure where he couldn't protect a woman from a similar dark fate, Magnus operates on cold calculation, tactical planning, and total silence. He doesn't take passengers. But when he hears Quinn's story, a deep, protective instinct wakes a dormant violence inside him. Along with his fourteen-dog sled team, he agrees to transport her across hundreds of miles of lethal, sub-zero terrain.When a historic arctic blizzard traps them together inside a cramped, frozen snow shelter, the walls of defense they've built begin to crack. Reading each other's physical and emotional scars, a deep, undeniable bond thaws the ice between them.But the hunter is closing the gap. Quinn's ex-husband has deployed an ex-military tracker on a snowmobile to retrieve the files at any cost. To survive, Quinn refuses to be passive cargo. Stepping up as Magnus's true equal, she must turn her own psychological survival skills into a weapon to dismantle her past and claim absolute freedom.
