Dark. Daunting. Unforgettable. Survival adds a demanding edge to love in the wilds.
Tina made a pact with the devil seven years ago. Itโs time to pay the piperโor die.
Independent to the nth degree, Tina meets everything in her life head-onโexcept love. When an almost-forgotten pact with the devil returns to haunt her, Tina throws a trip to the Andes together to face her nemesis. Better to die on her feet than wait for him to make good on his threats.
Craig never understood why Tina walked out of his life years before. Heโs never loved anyone like he loved her. His mountain guide service takes up all his time, but heโs never forgotten her. When his backโs been up against the wall, heโs invited her to fill in as expedition doctor, but beyond that, heโs kept his distance. Having his heart stomped on once was quite enough.
Caught between misgivings and need, Tina signs on as team doctor for one of Craigโs climbing trips to the Andes. Though he was the love of her life, she pushed him away years before to keep him safe. Even if he doesnโt love her anymore, thereโs still no one sheโd rather have by her side in the mountains. And if sheโs going to die, she wants to make things right between them.
