High Stakes

A novel of betrayal and passion in a frozen landscape far from the city lights, by the bestselling author of All In and Falling . . .
 
Ambra Vinter dreams of making it to the top of her chosen field. But instead, the beautiful young journalist is sent on assignment to Kiruna, a tiny mining town far north of Stockholm, chasing after yesterday's news. In December, this is a place on the edge of darkness-and Ambra's memories of it are just as bleak, for it is where she once suffered at the hands of a brutal foster father. Yet it is here, in the middle of nowhere, that she meets a man who takes her breath away . . .
 
Tom Lexington has left Special Forces for a career in private security. But he is still haunted by a mission that almost cost him his life-and by the woman who shattered his heart. When he meets Ambra in a cafe, she brings a promise of light, and heat, to his life-if he dares to let go of all he's been holding onto.
 
Now, as Ambra risks looking more closely at her own painful past, and stumbles into a story that's hotter than she ever expected, she and Tom must decide whether to take a chance on each other and come in from the cold . . .
