The mountain was never meant to let her leave. When a violent snowstorm strands her in the frozen territory of the Frostfang Clan, she expects hardship, cold, and perhaps a difficult journey home. She does not expect Kael Vargan. The towering barbarian chieftain who rules the mountain village with bloodied hands and unwavering authority looks at her once and decides her fate for her. To his people, she is a guest. To Kael, she is something far more dangerous. Something precious. As winter deepens and the mountain passes disappear beneath ice, she finds herself trapped in a world of fur-lined halls, ancient traditions, and a man whose obsession burns hotter than any hearth fire. Kael is ruthless, possessive, and terrifyingly patient. Every act of protection feels suspiciously like ownership. Every promise of safety sounds dangerously close to a threat. Because the longer she remains in Frostfang territory, the more she begins to realize a frightening truth: The storm may have brought her to the mountain. But Kael Vargan is the reason she cannot leave.
