Winter Cheyne was a child bride, sold for the price of a gambling debt. After years of abuse she knew breaking free of his hold would be dangerous, maybe even deadly, but it was a chance she had to take. Dr. Jedidiah Raintree never knew the truth about what happened to his best friend, Winter. Growing up on the reservation they were inseparable, until fate intervened and tore them apart. He's spent the last twenty years looking for the girl with the long black hair and almond eyes. Where he didn't expect to find her was huddled in his cabin, pointing a gun at his chest. Hidden somewhere in her are the secrets she's being hunted for. Hidden somewhere in him is the strength she will need to face them and be free. Hidden somewhere in their past is the key to their future. As the snow falls hard around them, desperation, deceit, and death must work in harmony to fulfill their destiny.Hidden somewhere in her are the secrets she's being hunted for.
