      Dedicated to Nadine who always is there when I need her

      and

      to Tam my partner in crime on the slopes. Friday nights at Mount Wachusett are some of the best memories I have.

      Special thanks to Nan, who I couldn’t do this without.

      Chapter One

      The white powder crunched beneath his skis. Connor Rankin didn’t need to look back to know his best friend Lance was fast on his heels. The only thing holding Lance back from being a better skier would be that he lived in the stifling, humid warmth of Charleston, South Carolina.

      Nothing made Connor feel more alive than taking the double diamond slope at neck-breaking speed. Rounding the bend, he slid out, turning to gaze up the hill he had conquered. Lifting his goggles, he smiled. The snow is perfect.

      That was exactly what I needed, Lance admitted. Another run?

      You bet.

      They had been riding the slopes for the last several hours and, at the moment, they had no reason to stop. They chatted on the rides up the mountain, but the descent was always a one-man joyride. At the top of the slope, they watched three people struggling to make it down the mogul run. Waiting until the run was clear before attacking the mounds head-on, they were just to push off when something caught his eye. Mid-run down the first section, he spotted a bent pole and a red spot in the otherwise-white snow.

      Do you see that? Connor asked.

      What?

      With the tip of his pole, he indicated the direction. The small patch of red over there by the tree line.

      I do. Lance bit his gloves off and pulled out his phone. Damn. No signal. I thought they were going to address that.

      Wait here. I’ll check and you can alert the lift operator to get help if needed. Connor pushed off and made his way across the slope. Lance remained up on the hill, waiting. As he got closer, he worked his skis off. Someone had hit the tree. He found skis, a rental pair, one broken in the snow mound. The second pole lay in the trees. He followed the tracks and, a few feet away, he saw the body. The skier must have hit their head and stumbled. Lance, get the ski patrol, he yelled.

      He made his way through the knee-deep snowdrifts to the skier in light pink. Gently, he turned her over. Her breathing held strong, but her blonde hair was soaked with blood from the still-seeping wound. Removing his coat, he placed it over her body and, after pulling his scarf off, applied pressure on the cut. Can you hear me?

      Her lips parted on a groan.

      It’s okay. Help is coming.

      She moaned and moved into him.

      What’s your name?

      Her eyes, beautiful hazel with green rimming the edge of the irises, fluttered open. Where am I?

      At the moment, in the snow.

      Oh. She tried to sit up.

      Please wait, ski patrol is on its way.

      She eased into him and pouted. Don’t make me ride down on the red sled. I already feel like an idiot.

      Trust me, you can’t get down on your skis. They are broken.

      No. This time she did sit up. Oh, I think I might throw up.

      Just lie back and try to relax. You most likely have a concussion.

      Damn it. I really needed to get my deposit back on those, she said on a near sob.

      He checked the head wound again. Shhh. Don’t worry about that now. You need to focus on getting down this hill.

      He heard voices in the distance getting closer. Connor offered her a gentle smile, and she reached up and grabbed his arm. Please don’t leave me?

      I’ll stay until your family or friends get here. I am sure someone has gotten down the hill by now and are waiting.

      There is no one on the mountain. I came up on my own today.

      You were skiing a double diamond on your own?

      I’m a great skier. Today notwithstanding.

      I’ll let you prove it to me later on. He stayed as close by as he
