Romantic suspense par excellence, this author really knows how to build tension. She takes a sleepy town, disappearing women (four in two years), a blizzard and the ex-wife of the local police chief forced to take shelter with a strange man. She mixes it with fast-paced writing and you are sure you can guess what’s coming ….. wrong. This is edge-of-the-seat stuff, difficult to put down.
Cleary, North Carolina, is a sleepy mountain town – the kind of place where criminal activity is usually limited to parking violations. Until now. Four women have disappeared in two years. A blue ribbon left near the spot where each was last seen. There are no other clues. And now another young woman has disappeared without a trace.
Lilly Martin is trying to outrun a snowstorm when her car skids on the icy road and strikes a man as he emerges from the woods on foot.

They`ve no choice but to wait out the storm in the cabin, but as the hours of their confinement mount, Lilly begins to wonder if the greatest danger to her safety isn`t the blizzard outside, but the mysterious man right beside her.
