She was lost long before the snow began to fall. She knew she made a wrong turn, but believed it was correctable. It was such a beautiful drive. Winding through the mountains, she crossed no other roads, There were no houses, no people, and she met no other vehicles. There was no cell phone reception. There was no help. She was not alarmed until the snow became serious. It grew heavier as she continued driving. Soon it covered the trees, the bushes, the road, and her car. It was a world of white. Now she was not only lost, she was lost and afraid.

About the Book
While taking a beautiful drive through the mountains, Kate encounters a driving snowstorm. Suddenly, she realizes that the storm has gotten so bad that she must find cover. As she makes to way down the mountain, she comes upon a school bus that’s been pulled to the side of the road. When she checks on the bus, she discovers several children awaiting the return of their bus driver, who has gone to find help. She decides that she must try to take the children to safety, so they all pile into her car, and she begins to drive again. A short time later, they come upon a large lump in the middle of the road and realize that it’s the missing bus driver who has collapsed in the cold. While she is trying to get the bus driver into her car as well, she falls and injures her head. Two of the children, Tristan and Luc, manage to get the car to their father’s home where he tries to help her. Da—or Ravenwood, as he is known by the rest of the world—is a mysterious man, and she wonders where she is and whether she’ll recover. Arriving at this place with Ravenwood and his family seems almost predestined. Will she find the adventure and new life that she has been longing for? Only time will tell …
