Closing Argument

By Ivy Sexton

Kerris Vance doesn't do messy, and she certainly doesn't lose. As a high-powered litigator, she's arrived at the Black Cedar lodge to systematically dismantle the Hale family's resort expansion. She's prepared for hostile witnesses. She isn't prepared for a massive blizzard to seal the access road, trapping her in the jurisdiction of Sutter Hale.

Sutter is the head of mountain safety. Six-foot-five, fiercely protective, and carrying a quiet grief that Kerris can't ignore. He promises to keep her safe from the storm, but offers no protection from the raw, elemental attraction burning between them. They strike a dangerous bargain-uninhibited surrender in his patrol shack by night, ruthless legal depositions by day. But Sutter is hiding a secret about the mountain that could upend Kerris's entire case. As the snow continues to fall, the woman who argues for a living realizes she might have finally found the one man she wants to lose to.
