A Dance of Desire and Revenge
In the sterile corridor of a Colorado hospital, Jasmine comes face-to-face with her ex-husband James Roth-a man she never expected to see again. Five years after their divorce, his fingers wrap around her wrist with familiar possessiveness as he demands answers about why she left. Despite her resistance, a savage snowstorm forces them to shelter together at a remote cabin in the mountains. As Pine Ridge lies deserted under thickening snow, they navigate treacherous roads in his Range Rover, the tension between them as palpable as the black ice beneath the tires. Their marriage had been brief but intense-a whirlwind romance that consumed them both, for which Jasmine sacrificed everything: family connections, her birthright, even her fiance Marcus. Now trapped together in isolation, with power lines down and temperatures plummeting, old wounds begin to bleed beneath superficial scars. The revelation that shatters her carefully constructed walls? Roth knows her secret identity as bestselling author Thalia Crane. "You wrote about us," he says, voice dangerously soft. "Every secret, every touch, every promise we made in the dark." He's meticulously read all four of her novels-thinly disguised accounts of their tumultuous relationship. This vulnerability sets the stage for a night where hatred and desire become indistinguishable, the howling wind outside mirroring their internal turmoil as past and present collide in a storm of recrimination and raw need.
