Assisting with the capture of a military doctor who kept a dead woman in his house is a thorn in Colonel Amelia Matheson’s side compared to the devastating news of her daughter Hope’s disappearance.
On the hunt for the perpetrators who kidnapped her deaf daughter from the groomed trails during a solo biathlon training session, Amelia enlists the help of Morgan Anchor, a local sheriff who once sold her out. To find Hope, Amelia and Morgan must untangle a web of secrets, including their own, and trust each other again.
Held captive in a remote cabin in the mountains, Hope fights the storm of her life using her wits and her skills. Scared but unafraid, she sets out to escape and save the man that her mother sent to rescue her – a man who is not who he appears to be.
Interesting tidbits:
- Biathlon is a winter sport combining cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. It originates in Scandinavia.
- My teenage character is a deaf biathlete who doesn't suffer any other disabilities. If she were to qualify, she would compete at the regular Olympic Games. She wouldn't be eligible to compete at the Paralympics, as hearing loss isn't a recognized impairment category, but she could also compete at the Deaflympics.
- Many years ago, I had the pleasure of having a deaf editor. She was the one who encouraged me to create smart, strong, and courageous deaf characters.
Stay Warm & Happy Reading!
