Book excerpt: 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. ---- Keywords: Canadian Author, adventure romance, rekindled romance, contemporary, small town, search-and-rescue romance, backcountry survival For readers who enjoy: Rachel Grant, Toni Anderson, Laura Griffin, Rebecca Zanetti, Karen Rose.
