He has a fortune to lose. She has a family to protect. 

Each of them has a secret that could end it all.

Alondra has been “Andi” for so long, she’s forgotten who she really is: a woman who knows too much and is paying for it in the form of expensive snow gear. 

Living in Montana as part of the witness protection program was never on her bucket list. Neither was abandoning her family, learning to ski, or taking a job in a mountain town where everyone enjoys being cold most of the year. But after uncovering a vast drug operation, she made herself a target to a dangerous human with enough reason to want her dead and the power to do it. 

She was supposed to wait things out, filling her time with friends and her photography gig until it was safe to go home. But when her abuela gets sick, waiting is no longer an option.

Ted became a ski patroller to escape his last name, enjoying the simple life with his black Lab and spending his days however he pleases—usually with ski poles in the winter and a fishing pole in summer. But his past finds him anyway, in the form of tens of millions of dollars he can’t say no to, and a board seat next to the father he’s spent his adult years running from.

Andi was only supposed to be a one-night stand. Then she was a second, third, fourth, and fifth, until he couldn’t ignore how he felt. Now Ted’s falling for the one person he can’t afford to lose, and the woman who isn’t who she said she was.
