A stranded woman, her children…and her sister’s killer.
When Natalie’s car breaks down in a monster blizzard, she is forced to entrust her children’s lives to Colt, the man responsible for her sister’s death. Trapped in his house while the fierce storm rages outside, for Natalie, it rages within.
Just who is Colt? Is he responsible for Laura’s death like Dad says he is, or is he the protector she never had? Either way, as the relentless storm wears on, Colt becomes the only buffer between her tempestuous father and violent ex-husband…
Colt can never outrun the past. All he can do is keep atoning for the accident — but making amends doesn’t guarantee forgiveness, least of all from himself.
When Natalie’s son wanders into danger, Colt doesn’t hesitate to risk his own life to save him. Caught in the raging blizzard in search of little Lane, he makes a pact with God: A life for a life; his for Lane’s. But did God agree to the deal?
