Gabriel Palang

Emma Walsh's world collapsed in six brutal months. Her marriage was shattered, her career was destroyed, and her life savings were gone. Seeking refuge at a remote mountain cabin, she wants nothing more than to disappear.
Then she meets Adrian.
Charming, attentive, and impossibly understanding, he seems to appear exactly when she needs him most. Their connection is immediate and intense—the first light in Emma's darkness. For the first time since her life fell apart, she feels hope.
But isolation has a way of revealing truths.
Strange coincidences begin to surface. Small inconsistencies that don't quite add up. Questions with answers that shift like shadows. In the growing silence between them, Emma starts to wonder: How much does Adrian know about her past?
And why does it feel like he's been waiting for her all along?
Miles from civilization, with winter closing, Emma faces a terrifying possibility. Sometimes the person who saves you isn't who they appear to be.
Sometimes they're exactly who you should fear most.

As external threats close in and the line between duty and desire blurs, Elena must choose between completing her mission and protecting the man she never expected to love.
In a world where trust is deadly and love is the ultimate betrayal, some secrets are worth dying for.
