The pulse-pounding romantic thriller by No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan, set in the deadly yet beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains, will have you on the edge of your seat . . .

The stakes have never been higher . . .

Vienna Mortenson isn't your typical gambler - her poker winnings don't go on flashy cars, they support her community, including the search and rescue team she leads. Out in the wilderness, lives are on the line, and it's down to her to be tough and decisive. Vienna isn't someone who makes a fool of herself, especially over a guy who left without looking back.

Zale Vizzini's job constantly puts him in harm's way. A stable relationship seems off the cards when you work undercover. But, despite the challenges, Zale wants something real with Vienna. Now, he's determined to win her back.

As their friends' wedding approaches, Zale uses the festivities to make a play for Vienna's heart. But amid the rugged terrain of Nevada, there are more deadly forces waiting to strike. Soon, both their lives are threatened. With the odds stacked against them can they - and their love - survive?
