She witnessed an execution sanctioned by the state.Now her only shield is a man the state has branded a traitor.
Forensic accountant Eva Morales has a gift for finding patterns in numbers. But when she uncovers a ‘Ghost Load’ on the northern border, she stumbles into a secret worth killing for. After witnessing a cold-blooded execution by a high-ranking official, Eva plunges into a sub-zero wilderness with nothing but the clothes on her back and a target on her name.
Caleb North is the lead handler for the elite North Star K-9 Unit. A man of silence and stone, he’s haunted by a failure he can’t outrun and bonded to a Belgian Malinois who trusts no one. So when Bane breaks every rule of his training to protect the half-frozen woman Cal pulls from a ravine, Cal knows two things: she’s telling the truth, and his own agency wants her dead.
Trapped in a remote outpost as the blizzard of the century closes in, Cal and Eva are forced into an intimacy neither of them wanted. He’s built walls no one has breached in years. She’s learned that trusting authority is a death sentence. But as the Pipeline’s shadow network tightens its grip and the heat between them becomes more dangerous than the frostbite at the door, Cal faces an impossible choice: follow orders, or follow his heart.
In a world where every track leads to a trap, trust is the ultimate gamble. And the heart is the only compass left.
A pulse-pounding clean romantic suspense where where loyalty, duty, and redemption collide in a frozen wilderness — and the only thing more dangerous than the hunt is the truth.
