A cyber expert with a frozen heart faces a challenge she can’t resist, even if it means working closely with an old adversary.
Being tops in the cyber forensic world has earned Jennifer Malone a detested nick name—Madame Ice Queen. Being a pawn in her parents’ broken marriage started the freeze, and having her heart repeatedly bruised for being too smart froze her solid.
After his 20 in the Air Force, Major Brice Young is now a civvie and on the brink of success with his top-secret tool. All it needs now is vetting by the best, except the best still holds last year’s debacle against him.
They have between Christmas and New Year’s Eve to test the system at Jen’s snowy Boulder, Colorado lab.
Can Brice use this one week to turn two dreams into reality—one made of bits and bytes, the other made of flesh and ice—or will Jen be unable to let go of a lifetime filled with distrust and hurt?
