Description

‘He acquired her in his crosshairs. And then his heart stopped.’

Nikolas Thorne is the ghost of the high peaks: an elite former military sniper who lives in the snow and answers only to cash. When a shadowy syndicate offers five million euros to eliminate a financial auditor digging into their offshore accounts, Nikolas takes the contract.

He calibrates his rifle through a blinding blizzard on Piz Nair. He acquires the target in his thermal sight.

The woman in his crosshairs is Dr. Lauren Reid: the brilliant, courageous woman who saved his life in a frozen Geneva alley ten years ago and vanished into the night.

Lauren spent twelve years uncovering the financial empire responsible for her father’s death. Trapped inside an isolated chalet surrounded by a private army of mercenaries, she is prepared to die for the truth.

Until the sniper outside turns his weapon on his own employers.

In a blizzard that has paralyzed the Alps, Nikolas breaches the compound, eliminates the kill team, and whisks Lauren into the frozen wilderness. Trapped together in a subterranean Cold War bunker, the burning attraction between them detonates.

From the bullion vaults of Zurich to the two-thousand-meter vertical ice walls of Piz Bernina, Nikolas will dismantle an empire to keep her safe. The men who hunted her are about to learn: there is nowhere on earth cold enough to hide from his wrath.
