"The coldest places on earth aren't the ones without sun. They're the ones where someone stood close enough to warm you and chose to stay frozen instead."
Rumi Holt is a fierce ice road mechanic who prefers the honest, lethal cold of the Canadian Arctic to the complicated lies of the living. For nine years, she's searched for the truth behind her father's suspicious death on a frozen lake, navigating the treacherous supply routes of the Northwest Territories to find answers. But when her rig is deliberately sabotaged during a high-stakes convoy, leaving her stranded on fracturing ice at forty below zero, Rumi realizes she isn't just looking for a killer-she's being hunted by one.
Silas Vane is a man built out of violence and silence. After executing the crime boss who murdered Rumi's father, Silas took over the underground empire for one specific reason: to protect her from afar. For two years, he has been her shadow. Watching her apartment. Learning her habits. Guarding her from the dark with a terrifying, obsessive devotion. Now, forced into the light to protect his convoy from a rival crew, Silas is trapped in a freezing truck cab with the only woman who can shatter his iron-clad control.
As armed mercenaries close in and the ice groans under the weight of their dead engine, the claustrophobic tension between Rumi and Silas ignites. Rumi must rely on a ruthless killer to survive the deadly Arctic night, only to discover that his dangerous obsession with her is absolute. He will burn the world down to keep her safe, but when Rumi uncovers the depth of his deception, she must decide if the man who avenged her father is her salvation-or her ultimate ruin.
