A winter romantic suspense. When Althea meets Morgan Hunter at Muldoon's pub for the first time, she thinks he's a handsome, ego tripping, prissy-pants executive. She quickly rebuffs him only to find him thundering at her in the operation theater, the very next day. He's dogged in his censure of her, but not immune to her allure. Through a snowy December Morgan courts Althea and wins her heart but not her trust. When she travels with him at his request for Christmas to his home in Finesse, a tumble in the snow leads to the discovery of Morgan's missing ex-girlfriend. Dead. Morgan pushes Althea away and she doesn't understand his reasons. Althea returns to build the new rural clinic in Finesse. She discovers the truth about Morgan's heritage, the murdered ex-girlfriend and the secrets about the Hunter clan. Can she save the man she loved from going to prison?
