Isolated with no power, no way to contact the outside world, and a madman on their heels, Angel and Ford must trust their instincts and fight to survive in the most inhospitable-and beautiful-place on earth. Hunted and scared, she and irritatingly gorgeous glaciologist Ford Cooper barely make it out with their lives.only to realize that in a place this remote, there's nowhere left to run.

And scorching, brain-melting heat despite the freezing Antarctic setting.Forced proximity (forget only one bed-there's only one sleeping bag!).Brace yourself for this fast-paced romantic suspense full of fan-favorite tropes: To Sofie, social ostracism as an unwed mother is preferable to a marriage of unrequited love. Her solitude turns chaotic as her mother badgers her to give the child up for adoption while Edward, riddled with guilt, insists on a marriage of convenience. It is time, he figures, ``to do something noble and worthy for a change.'' Edward's scheme backfires as Sofie ends up head-over-heels in love with him and pregnant besides. Edward Delanza, a self-serving rake with a reputation to match, takes Sofie's dilemma to heart and decides to boost her ego.

I have to keep away from her for her sake and not to mention my family’s. A single stressful, dangerous night won’t change anything. When reality settles back in, she’ll remember the way things are. “That’s more like it,” he says with a grin, and I know that was a ploy to pull me out of my dark, self-loathing thoughts.Īll I can do is replay the sight of Aspen’s shoulders slumping. “Are you sure about that? Because you look about as close to a whipped dog as I’ve ever seen.” My head snaps around, my lip curling into a sneer. “That was the smart thing to do,” Ren assures me before we set off on the heels of the group. I can’t expect him to understand.Īll I can do is turn my back on her and pretend not to care when she shuffles away. I’m sure he thinks I’m encouraging her, but nothing could be further from the truth. Lucas and I exchange one last look, and I hope my lifted shoulders convey my relative innocence in this. Everything was so much easier before I knew it. The whole village was roused some fled, some attacked me, until, grievously bruised by stones and many other kinds of missile weapons, I escaped to the open country and fearfully took refuge in a low, hovel, quite bare, and making a wretched appearance after the palaces I had beheld in the village.”(123). “One of the best of these I entered, but I had hardly placed my foot within the door before the children shrieked, and one of the women fainted.
