My Comments:
When Lisa was just 8 years old she witnessed her mother not only kill herself, but also her baby sister while trying to kill Lisa along with them by jumping off a cruise ship..
26 years later Lisa is a lawyer on an adventure with her firm. And including herself, three junior partners try to make the one senior partner spot available.
But someone tries to kill Lisa, not once, but four times during their trip to Alaska where her ex-fiance has a resort their not that he inherited from his uncle.. Mitch was also the previous senior partner and the one who keeps coming to her rescue now... but from who?
This is a great book full of suspense and excitement! I loved every minute of it and look forward to reading more by this author. :)
Description from the publisher:
Attending a corporate retreat at a remote resort in Alaska, Lisa Vaughn is plunged into the frigid rapids of the Wild River. Swept away, battered and alone, she has been left for dead. Lodge owner Mitch Braxton knows something is terribly wrong when Lisa fails to turn up for a private meeting to clear the air and close the book on their broken engagement. Embarking on a heroic search that takes him miles downriver, he saves Lisa from the deadly water, but not before they've been swept deep into the wilderness.
Far from civilization, the former lovers must put aside their hurt feelings and find the will to survive against nature. There's a killer on the loose and, for now, they must measure their future together in days rather than years
