Can a cynical soldier and a naïve scientist learn about love
and trust in order to survive?
Dr. Marie Wilson is a
scientist on the verge of a breakthrough. She has come to Montana on the eve of
a blizzard to prove her small, portable solar panel can generate electricity
even in the harshest environment. But when four men invade her remote cabin with
plans to kill her, she knows she’s in trouble.
Ex-Special Forces
soldier, David Quinn, has had enough of danger and death. All he wants is to be
left alone on his Montana acreage to pursue his dream of being a beekeeper. But
when his old mentor convinces him to help retrieve a stolen solar panel, he
thinks it will be a simple job. But the moment he sets eyes on Marie, he knows
their assignment is all kinds of wrong.
Together, they
escape. Chased by a businessman with unlimited resources, a gunman and a
corrupt police force, they are thrust into the frozen Montana landscape. Can a
cynical soldier and a naïve scientist learn about love and trust in order to
survive?
Excerpt:
A
crack of splintering wood and the door crashed open. Marie jumped to her feet,
her heart pounding. A scream lodged in her throat as four men burst in, filling
the tiny space. She raced to the fireplace and grabbed the poker.
A
handsome blond-haired man led the way. He was so good looking he could be an
actor. He had a square jaw and wore a well-tailored leather jacket. Even his
fair hair was perfectly trimmed. Two burly men followed, both with dark,
short-cropped hair. They could be twins. Their thick bodies and the way they
swung their arms reminded her of a pair of gorillas. They also had the same
flattened nose and malicious, small, dark eyes. They moved to the back of the
room near the sink. The last man had unkempt, long, sandy-colored hair. He wore
a crumpled, hooded camouflage jacket and baggy gray pants. A long scar ran
across one side of his face, starting at his ear and running through his beard,
parting it with a jagged white line. He didn’t say a word. He simply nodded at
the poker in her hand and shook his head, silently telling her to drop her
weapon.
Sensing
that any attempt to fight him would be futile, she let it fall to the ground.
“You can take the money. I don’t have—”
“Shut
up,” the handsome blond barked. A vein on his forehead bulged as he scowled.
Her
heart hammered against her ribs. She prayed they would take what they wanted
and leave.
Handsome
stepped in front of her and placed the barrel of his handgun between her eyes.
“Tell us where it is.”
“What
are you doing?” The man with the scar strolled over and stood next to her. In
her peripheral vision, she could make out his intense, pale, lifeless eyes.
He
leaned close to her face so his warm breath touched her cheek. “This is all
wrong.”
A
small squeal emanated from her throat. He was too close. Too scary. Killer. The word rang through her mind.
The scar, those dead eyes, and his demeanor gave the impression of a lethal,
terrifying man.
“What
do you mean? Our intel is good.” The vein on Handsome’s forehead throbbed to
life.
With
one finger, Killer nudged the pistol away from her head. “First, how can she
tell us where it is when she’s too frightened to talk?”
Handsome
shrugged, revealing a smile with perfect white teeth.
Marie
released a huge breath. She needed to do something, but couldn’t focus,
couldn’t form a coherent thought.
“Second,”
Killer continued, “what do we really know about this situation?”
Handsome
sneered. “You were in the army. You know how it is. We don’t make the
decisions. We follow orders.”
“And
what exactly are our orders?” Killer asked, his voice low and calm.
“We’re
to retrieve what was stolen and eliminate the girl.”
There
had to be a misunderstanding. She was a scientist,
not someone who needed to be eliminated.
