Publisher Description
High stakes and icy risks—where control is an illusion and passion will become their lifeline.
As the chopper pilot for the elite Lifeline search-and-rescue team, Erin Tate is all about control. In the air, she’s the boss, but in the bedroom? That’s where she wants to let go. She’s looking for a man who can handle her strength and strip away her control.
Enter Timothy Dextor, a paramedic with a wild card reputation and the dark appetites to match. The only thing he’s missing is a woman who gets him. Landing a spot on the Lifeline squad puts Erin, his old flame, right back in his sights. He knows exactly what she needs, and this time, he’s not about to let her slip away.
When an emergency on an icy glacier snowfield throws Erin and Timothy together in ways they never expected, the stakes skyrocket—both on the job and off. They’ll need to discover the true meaning of control and confront the risks that come with falling deeply in love.

Unexpected twists
This story took some unexpected turns that I wasn’t prepared for and have some misgivings about. It didn’t really stay with the action outline of the two previous books in the series. I would have liked more action and less sexploration.
Finally, I don’t care for the presentation of Erin in all three books- characteristics assigned to her while continually describing her as black that wasn’t assigned to her white female teammates. Why couldn’t she be white?
She was presented as stand-offish with the team socially. There’s no other people of color anywhere in the books to give her space to be authentic. There’s no descriptions of her family background. The other females were content to let her be apart and not a part, friending her when they needed her but not being the friend to her that they wanted from her. She’s isolated in her profession, within her team because she’s the pilot not a climber, and then sexually submissive to a dominant bisexual white male. Why couldn’t she be white?
I read all three stories because Erin was black. A black female search and rescue helicopter pilot! How exciting in every way. She wasn’t a nurse, domestic, or secretary; she was a pilot. But this is her story and it’s disappointing.
