A promise worth dying for...a woman determined to save him. All that stands between them and success is ten thousand feet and a mile of ice. Ex-Federal agent Kyle Sullivan can't afford any distractions. He's in the middle of a highly volatile mission and the last thing he needs is to fall for the woman he's entrusted his life to. But his heart has other plans. Taylor Austin isn't sure what to think of her new client, the not so bookish "professor" Kyle Sullivan. Everything about him screams sexy, and she can't help but wonder if he's hiding something. But just her luck, all he seems interested in is trekking his ass half-way across a glacier to a deserted cave. And in October, the Rocky Mountains couldn't be more treacherous. If they can just make it across the ice sheet, perhaps she can convince him that she's more interesting than his job. Taylor is everything Kyle ever wanted in a woman...smart, strong and a whole lot of trouble. But he needs her, and not just to fill the emptiness inside him. She's the only guide capable of getting him to a remote hideout alive, and that's worth risking everything...even his heart.
