Nell MacInness' true passion is climbing mountains and living dangerously, but her profession is in the art world restoring masterpieces and discovering forgeries, which is definitely a slower pace. After returning home from a climbing trip where she risks her life saving students stranded on the side of a mountain with another climber, she's attacked by men in suits and forced to run. She's instantly curious about her father's involvement and the government's interest in gaining information from her.

Dakota Smith's mission is clear; follow Nell MacInness at a distance while waiting for her to communicate with father. Chivalry is not part of the job, but Dakota can't allow Nell to travel in a storm alone to save stranded students, so he offers his help. He quickly realizes she's a very capable woman, not only climbing mountains, but she keeps her cool in high-stress situations. At least, he hopes this is the case when he mysteriously appears to assist her when she's attacked by the men in suits.

Christina Skye weaves an exciting, action-packed romance that once again connects another puzzle piece to the Draycott Abbey mystery. A fabulous read!
