At the ends of the earth, Patagonia is a land where ambition trumps
reason and the savage summit of La Aguja lures the most determined
climbers. It's also the last spot a "play-it-safe girl" like Auden
Woods expects to find herself. But she'll lace up her brand-new
hiking boots and do whatever it takes to secure a dream job at an
adventure magazine . . . even if it kills her. And it just might.
When disaster strikes, her only chance at survival comes in the form
of the surliest, sexiest mountaineer ever to come out of Scotland.
After a climbing accident cost him his brother, professional
mountaineer Rhys MacAskill is at the end of his rope. Redemption is
not in his future. That is, until a terrifying storm blows a budding
journalist into his tent and it's up to him to make sure they both
survive until morning. Despite the demons weighing on him, Rhys
can't resist the temptation of the charming American and one wild
night just isn't enough.
Auden and Rhys soon learn there are no shortcuts as they navigate
their way between life, death, and atonement, and discover something
they never expected-love.
