Sometimes danger is hard to see... until it’s too late.
Britt Pfeiffer has trained to backpack the Teton Range, but she isn't prepared when her ex-boyfriend, who still haunts her every thought, wants to join her. Before Britt can explore her feelings for Calvin, an unexpected blizzard forces her to seek shelter in a remote cabin, accepting the hospitality of its two very handsome occupants—but these men are fugitives, and they take her hostage.
In exchange for her life, Britt agrees to guide the men off the mountain. As they set off, Britt knows she must stay alive long enough for Calvin to find her. The task is made even more complicated when Britt finds chilling evidence of a series of murders that have taken place there... and in uncovering this, she may become the killer’s next target.
But nothing is as it seems in the mountains, and everyone is keeping secrets, including Mason, one of her kidnappers. His kindness is confusing Britt. Is he an enemy? Or an ally?

Becca Fitzpatrick's Favourite Books.When I was given the challenge of listing my favorite books, I thought, “Wow. Favorites are hard.” Especially when it comes to books. The word favorite implies an elite few, and “few” and “books” are not two words I use in the same sentence! After much debate, I've managed to pull from my shelf some beloved books that changed my life. It's no surprise that many are children's books. After all, it was as a child that I learned to love stories and began absorbing and understanding the lessons they taught-lessons that formed the foundation of the woman I would become.
Matilda by Roald Dahl
What I learned from this book, at age nine, is that superpowers aren't limited to masked men in capes. Little girls can be every bit as powerful and exceptional, and can triumph over villains.
Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson
I read Speak years before I was published, and it had a powerful effect on me; not only did it make me want to read everything shelved in the YA section, it also made me want to write for teens.
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
This book answered the question burning in my skeptical, twenty-something heart that asked: Does true, heart-stopping, steal-your-breath love really exist?
Little House in the Big Woods by Laura Ingalls Wilder
My second-grade teacher gave me this book. I took it home and read it aloud to my younger sister. It had everything we wanted in a story: bears and jaguars. At its heart, Little House in the Big Woods is a story about family and love, but the bears will always be my favorite part.
Christy by Catherine Marshall
I skipped two days of seventh grade to read this book. I pretended I was sick so I could stay home and read in bed, and even though that meant I ate nothing but chicken broth for two days, the sacrifice was worth it. I was inspired by Christy's pluck and determination, and her desire to help others. Her story made me want to venture out into the big, unknown world and create my own adventures.
The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux
I was (and still am!) obsessed with this book about powerful obsession. The Phantom of the Opera was my gateway to other dark stories with twisted, confusing, and haunting relationships. I'm not particularly drawn to reading stories about so-called normal and functioning relationships—thankfully for me, real life offers enough of those. I'm much more inclined to read about obsession, violence, betrayal, and murder. Books are a safe place to explore our darker inclinations and fears, I think.
