Getting snowed in with a stranger is dangerous—especially for her heart.
Gracie Turner just broke up with her fiancé before Christmas, so after a severe snowstorm causes her car to skid off the road into the deadly waters of Silver Lake, she can’t help falling for her rugged, handsome rescuer. There’s only one problem. He’s a fugitive running from the law.
Barron Hart has a plan to bring his brother’s killers to justice, and it does not involve Gracie. But when the snowy winds batter the backwoods cabin he’s using as his hideout, he has no choice but to wait out the storm with the Sheriff’s daughter. Against her will. Although, if he’s being honest with himself, she’s the one holding his heart captive.
After their first explosive encounter, nothing will warm Gracie up… or stop the sparks flying between them. There are too many secrets keeping them apart. Barron is further dismayed when Gracie uncovers his tragic past. She has the faith to help him heal, but he’s not ready to give up his revenge. Will the mysteries that brought them together, now have the power to tear them apart?

My Review: 5 StarsI love suspenseful stories, but I don't do well with stress. Having slid off a road before in a snowstorm, my heart was pounding right along with Gracie's, and when you add that to the fact that fugitive Barron rescued her, I was a slight mess. But I loved every minute of it!Gracie and Barron are great characters and I enjoyed watching the love, hope, brokenness and desire for revenge play a part in the plot. Coming to terms with what life has handed you and making your own, better way is an important concept.I love this author's stories, so I didn't even read the blurb and was expected a sweet and fluffy Christmas story, but I was delighted to discover that suspenseful element. A forbidden romance of sorts was a holiday treat, especially as the layers of mystery were uncovered. As they were shredded like strips of newspaper, the romantic sparks ignited them and revealed a swoony tale. It was fun to watch everything unfold in the setting of a remote wintry cabin.Content: mild romance; mild moments of peril/danger; mild+ religion
