A mercenary has one rule: never fall for your target. A pulse-pounding romantic thriller from bestselling author Amanda McKinney. Three years ago, Sophia Banks fled her home, finding solace—and solitude—in the snowy mountains of the Alaskan wilderness. Every detail of her new life was carefully orchestrated, from her job to her hair color… until a scarred, callous mercenary shows up on her doorstep. Justin’s mission is clear: find Sophia Banks and interrogate her—by any means necessary—to obtain the information he needs. But when Justin and Sophia survive a blitz-style attack just hours after their meeting, he realizes he’s not the only one searching for the runaway—and the mission isn’t nearly as simple as the paperwork suggested. When a blizzard moves in, Justin and Sophia are forced to shelter in place. Cut off from the outside world, Justin begins to see there’s more to Sophia than meets the eye… and starts to question whether he can trust her—or himself. As the mission unravels, Justin must make the biggest decision of his life: Follow his orders… Or follow his heart.
