No job. A lost Samoyed. A missing kid. Three accidents. And a blizzard.
How can Jasmin's world get any worse?
Maybe because she ends up having to wait out the storm with a stranger. The same man who owns the dog she slammed with her car when blinded by the snow.
It gets worse...
Turns out the dude is supposed to pick up his newly orphaned nephew who was forced by the courts to stay with his nasty grandmother. Three days before Christmas and the kid runs. Meanwhile, anxious and worried, Dex is stuck with a painful twisted ankle, waiting for the road crew to clear their way.
As tensions rise and the storm rages on, Jasmin and Dex navigate their unexpected predicament together.
NYT & USA Today, best-selling, award-winning author, Mimi Barbour, lives on the beautiful east coast of Vancouver Island and writes her romances with tongue-in-cheek and a mad glint in her eye. Asked why she prefers paranormal or suspenseful romance, she answers, chuckling... "Because it's fun! Imagination can be a lot more interesting than what happens in real life to so-called normal people. I love my characters, and my goal is to make the readers love them also. To care about what happens to them while the tale unfolds. If I can steal my booklover's attention away from their everyday grind, absorb them in a fantasy world, and make them care about the ending, then I've done my job. "Thinking back, writing my first romantic suspense novel switched the hard work into fun, and I've not looked back. I love writing about men and women finding each other and falling in love. Along the way, it pleases me to fill their travels with gritty conflicts -- spiced up with lots of humor and seasoned with a few tears, but always with endings that are happy."
