When experienced rock climber Kayden McKenna discovers a dead man on a remote Alaskan cliff, what should have been a peaceful outing becomes the beginning of a dangerous murder investigation. With the local sheriff overwhelmed, former Boston homicide detective Jake Westin Cavanagh agrees to put his investigative skills to work again, despite the painful memories that drove him away from law enforcement. Kayden's knowledge of climbing makes her an invaluable partner, but working together also forces them to confront the growing attraction they've spent years resisting. As disturbing clues emerge and threatening incidents escalate, the danger reaches beyond the original murder, raising the terrifying possibility that Jake's past has followed him to Alaska. Determined to protect the woman he loves and the family that has welcomed him as one of their own, Jake must face the fears and grief that have shaped his life. Set against Alaska's breathtaking and unforgiving wilderness, this Christian romantic suspense novel combines dangerous outdoor adventure, unexpected twists, faith, family loyalty, and a hard-won love story. Perfect for a stormy night or a vacation when you're craving an absorbing mystery, memorable characters, and romance worth rooting for.
