Stone Wall

The mountain kills without malice. He kills to protect. Isla Vance doesn't believe in heroes. An award-winning journalist with a cynical edge, she's come to Stone Creek, Montana, to take down the legendary Stone family. She's certain the "Red Zone" isn't a geological hazard—it's a corporate cover-up. But when a "White Dragon" blizzard slams into the ridge, Isla learns that out here, her press credentials are as useless as her designer boots. Rohan Stone is a man made of granite and scars. A veteran who traded the desert of Fallujah for the lethal isolation of the Montana mountains, he is the "Stone Wall"—the silent warden of a graveyard of secrets. His job is simple: keep the world away from the toxic rot of the Red Zone. When Rohan finds Isla freezing in the snow, he doesn't see a woman to be rescued—he sees a liability. Trapped in a crumbling cabin with the temperature plummeting and armed scavengers hunting them through the whiteout, Rohan and Isla are forced into a brutal, intimate fight for survival. To live, Isla must trust the man she intended to ruin. To save her, Rohan must face the ghosts he's been trying to drown in the silence. In a landscape of ice and bone, the greatest heat comes from the one person you aren't supposed to touch.
