From award-winning romance author Loreth Anne White comes a story of justice, loyalty, and unbreakable bonds that is both a thrilling mystery and a moving love story.

Nine years after her testimony helped put Jeb behind bars, Rachel’s life is finally getting back to normal. But it’s turned upside down by the sudden death of her sister and her new responsibility for her sister’s adopted daughter, Quinn. Now Jeb is back in his hometown, and he’s willing to risk everything to discover who was really responsible for the crime he was accused of.

Loreth Anne White's profile page

“Electrifying and engrossing, a provocative, intense, tiptop thriller. Loreth Anne White can’t get me back to Snowy Creek fast enough ... The setting ... is majestic and merciless, and plays a pivotal role in the story. It’s a close, closed off community, surrounded by glaciers and harboring seething emotion. White’s deft descriptions, and her inspired use of Snowy Creek’s natural features, add striking menace and full tilt tension...” —Kathy Altman, USA TODAY
