Pelt And Peril. Whiteout Sins, #30

"You can love a dangerous thing. You can survive it. But you will never be the person you were before you let it touch you."Zoya Korolev is a woman on the run. Carrying a stolen USB drive that could dismantle her dead father's criminal empire, she flees into the brutal Montana wilderness. Freezing and desperate, she collapses at the doorstep of a remote cabin, miles away from civilization. Her savior is Lachlan Mercer, a reclusive taxidermist with steady hands and cold, gray eyes.
But Lachlan isn't just a simple mountain man. He's a former crime scene cleaner who erased his own identity to escape the very same underworld that is now hunting Zoya. Worse, his dark past hides a secret directly tied to the tragedy that destroyed Zoya's family. Trapped together in a claustrophobic cabin by a raging blizzard, the tension between them is as dangerous as the storm outside. Zoya is an expert at building walls, and Lachlan is an expert at keeping things perfectly preserved.
But as the snow piles up and the temperature drops, the clinical distance they try to maintain ignites into a fierce, obsessive attraction. When the storm clears and the killers finally close in, Zoya and Lachlan must decide if their fragile, dark connection is a liability-or the only weapon they have left.
