Years
ago, former Marine Captain Cecily Knight fled her dark past and the

into her life and shatters her protective seclusion.
Aloof
but intriguing, defensive but undeniable, Ian is everything Cecily
shouldn’t want but can’t ignore. He watches her with shrewd blue eyes,
as if determined to decipher her secrets…and for the first time in
years, she finds herself coming alive beneath the hands of a man with
too many scars to count.
As
the hushed and harsh winter closes in around them, two lost souls find
themselves on the precipice of a love that could save their lives…or
destroy them forever.
Excerpt
Cecily
shifted her weight, and Ian caught her sleeve, silently cursing the
bulky jackets and gloves that separated them both. At the touch, she
went still, saying, “Ian—“
“Cecily,”
he interrupted quietly. He wanted to pull away her sunglasses, but he
sensed that she needed that little artificial shield. If Ian pushed too
hard, she would shut down completely, and he might never get another
chance at her. Even this might be too much, but Ian had to try.
Lightly
holding her sleeve, he raised his free hand and used his teeth to tug
off the glove. Her head turned sharply to watch the path of the glove as
Ian tossed it aside. Cold air bit at his fingers, but he didn’t care.
He set his fingertips to her face, for an instant feeling the icy skin
of her jaw before she flinched away.
“Cecily,”
Ian repeated quietly, soothingly, and touched again. This time, she
didn’t pull back. She parted her lips and inhaled quietly. The motion
drew his gaze down, and he saw no reason at all not to chase that
breath.
Tight
with tension, her lips tasted of cold and snow. Subtle, burning point
of contact connected them skin-to-skin—Ian’s fingertips on her face, his
thumb on the thinner flesh over her cheekbone, their lips touching
lightly The kiss was barely more than the air they shared for one
breath, two. Her exhale shuddered against his mouth.
