Publisher Description
Brace yourself for double the suspense in these snowbound adventures as an avalanche forces two couples to face down their enemies in a ski resort shut off from the outside world.
In Buried in Shadows by Dani Pettrey, Cassandra Parker arrives at her best friend's destination wedding, praying her stalker hasn't tracked her to Colorado. Also part of the wedding party is Sheriff Joel Brunswick, the man she stunned by leaving at the altar to hide a dangerous truth. When an avalanche strands their ski group in an abandoned lodge, it becomes chillingly clear that Cassandra's stalker has followed her . . . and he's willing to kill to make her his.
In Snowbound Secrets by Lynette Eason, Dr. Maya Sullivan fully intends to escape her past and finish planning a retreat for military veterans at the ranch she's inherited. Unfortunately, her plans go sideways when an avalanche traps her in a Colorado ski resort. An unexpected reunion with her high school crush forces her to confront past wounds, but she soon realizes someone is targeting her, and their search for a shadowy enemy becomes a matter of life and death.
A gripping romantic suspense novella collection from bestselling authors Lynette Eason and Dani Pettrey featuring second-chance romance, trapped together forced proximity, military and law enforcement heroes, a small-town destination wedding, and snowbound survival at a Colorado ski resort.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An avalanche in the Colorado mountains propels this uneven pair of mystery novellas from Pettrey (Blind Spot) and Eason (Target Acquired). In Pettrey's "Buried in Shadows," autopsy assistant Cassie Parker returns to the same ski resort where, one year ago, she was blackmailed by a stalker into leaving her best friend Izzy's brother, Joel, at the altar. Now reunited at Izzy's wedding, Cassie and Joel have time to talk things out, especially after an avalanche forces them to shelter at the ski lodge. Just as they start confronting their unresolved feelings, Cassie's stalker resurfaces, determined to keep the pair apart at any cost. In Eason's "Snowbound Secrets," trauma surgeon Maya Sullivan is on a much deserved getaway when the same avalanche strands her at a ski resort without cell service. Things start looking up when she runs into her teenage crush, Gideon Price, but then a series of mysterious "accidents" befall her, and it becomes evident Maya is the target of a sinister plot. As their chemistry builds, Maya and Gideon harness their faith to uncover who has it in for Maya—and why—before it's too late. Unfortunately, the latter third of Pettrey's novella feels rushed, while Eason undercuts her narrative tension with long blocks of exposition-heavy dialogue. These wintry thrillers fail to deliver the chills.
