In a storm of secrets, even love can freeze—or fight its way through the cold.

A roaring blizzard. A shocking confession. A love pushed to its breaking point. In 1882 Texas, nurse Summer McIntyre is sure she knows the man she’s about to marry—steady, honest Sheriff Dan Bodine. But when a mysterious woman emerges from the blinding blizzard carrying a baby and claiming Dan as the father, Summer’s faith is shaken to the core.

While she grapples with that, she learns that her long-lost little brother is alive…and trapped with a madwoman somewhere in the snow-choked hills. Summer is desperate to ride to his rescue, but the storm has locked the town in ice and fury. No one can reach him. Not even Dan.

Cut off from rescue and buried in secrets, Summer must face the fear that she may lose both the boy she loves and the man she thought she knew. In a storm this fierce, trust is as fragile as ice—and love may be the only thing that survives.

With time running out and trust shattered, Summer must decide whether Dan is the ally she needs—or the heartbreak she can’t outrun.
