Never in a million years did I expect that running back to the past would bring me face to face with my future. But it did, and now everyone I love is in danger. I’ve already escaped death three times, and I know my luck is running out. I’m left looking over my shoulder, watching and waiting, knowing they’re coming But when? Hiding is impossible when the mob wants you erased, and I love Liam far too much to try to disappear. The more time I spend with him, the more I realize how much he needs me. A darkness lurks inside him, and the colder it gets, the more I see it in his eyes. So here I am, more afraid than ever before. Giving up isn’t an option. Giving in will get us killed. A blizzard is brewing on our mountain, more frigid than anything we’ve ever felt. With everything we ever wanted at stake, the only option is to fight. When life turns arctic… Who will survive the blast? less

Revenge is a dish best served cold. What if we lose everything? It was a question that had haunted me even after I spoke it aloud. Turns out one loss--one profound loss--is enough to put everything else at stake. What a house of cards life can be. How easily everything ices over. We've survived an avalanche, made it through a blizzard, but now a chill has set in. A cold so deep it reaches beyond bone... moreRevenge is a dish best served cold. What if we lose everything? It was a question that had haunted me even after I spoke it aloud. Turns out one loss--one profound loss--is enough to put everything else at stake. What a house of cards life can be. How easily everything ices over. We've survived an avalanche, made it through a blizzard, but now a chill has set in. A cold so deep it reaches beyond bone. The end of the storm provided a new beginning, but we can't start over while we're still frozen in the past. How can I face a man who's lost so much because of me? How can he face me? This powerful secret between us grows with every breath I take. Will it pull us closer or sever a bond I once thought unbreakable? The threat to my life is gone. Yet I'm still terrified. Cold has laid claim to Liam. Whenever we touch, the bite of frost nips at my heart. His obsession for revenge grows, hurling him further from me and closer to the frostbite taking over. *Frostbite is book 3 in the BearPaw Resort series. This is a series that needs to be read in order. less

My best friend, Liam Mattison, was born with snow in his veins. Me? Ice. Maybe that’s why my eyes are this color. Maybe it’s because I was born in Caribou, where there’s more snow than sun. I always knew I had a chill within me, but after my time with the army, that chill froze over. I saw and did things most people couldn’t fathom. I made contacts with people who were more beast than man. I came home altered, and there was no going back. Except I did. It had to be done, and I didn’t regret it... moreMy best friend, Liam Mattison, was born with snow in his veins. Me? Ice. Maybe that’s why my eyes are this color.

I saw and did things most people couldn’t fathom. I made contacts with people who were more beast than man. I came home altered, and there was no going back. Except I did. It had to be done, and I didn’t regret it. But now I’m thrust back into a world where people had forgotten my name. Back into a past I walked away from. Memories of all the things I’ve done, of the people I’ve left behind, are floating to the surface. The late-night summons wasn’t really unexpected. The request was. Saying no is impossible when you’re the only man equipped for the job. Saying no is difficult when what you really want to say is yes. So here I am, past and present colliding with a woman I intentionally left behind. A woman who needs me to keep her alive. I made a promise, and I will keep it. Even if I die doing it. Even if it means the ice inside me goes subzero. less
