Thunder Snow - Paperback

Jack Franklin is a man of jagged edges and hard-won peace. In the thin, freezing air of Nederland, Colorado, he has built a life out of isolation and routine, far from the noise of a world he no longer trusts. He is a ghost in his own life, content to remain a face in the crowd. Until a woman with hair like wildfire and eyes full of secrets walks into the Amber Rose and shatters the quiet he spent years perfecting.

Callie Weston is a woman running out of road. A respected realtor from the canyons of Denver, she's fleeing a nightmare that the law couldn't keep behind bars. Her father's isolated mountain cabin was supposed to be her sanctuary, a place where the shadows of her past couldn't find her. She expected a lonely winter. She didn't expect a man like Jack.

Jack's presence is steady, protective, and dangerously alluring, but he is a man of heavy mysteries. While Callie seeks shelter in the rugged beauty of the high country, she never suspects that the man helping her survive the winter has his own deep reasons for burying himself in the Rockies.

As the Colorado frost thickens, the heat between them becomes an unyielding force. But the mountain air is too thin for lies, and Callie's stalker is no longer a distant threat, he is a predator on the move. And as the walls Jack has built around his heart begin to fracture, they both must decide if their secrets are a fortress or a cage.

Some storms can't be outrun. Some hearts can't be fixed until they're broken.

Note: This is a completely revised and updated edition. It is a tastefully steamy, standalone novel with a guaranteed HEA.
