Still grieving the loss of her fiancé and best friend in a car accident on Christmas Eve at Sapphire Ridge, Niki Lusk returns to the popular Lake Tahoe ski resort one year later to find closure and make sense of a stunning betrayal following their deaths. If only the snow, pine trees and holiday cheer at Sapphire Ridge could help her heal and reclaim her Christmas spirit. Niki isn't counting on the massive avalanche that roars down the mountain in the middle of the night to bury alive dozens sleeping in one of the resort's lodges. Nor does she expect devastatingly sexy Bryce McInnis, whose mysterious accent is impossible to pin down, to show up on her radar, demanding she help him save one of the avalanche's victims. What Bryce must never know is that Niki has a secret. She was born with a special gift she's spent her entire life concealing from others. Yet it's this unique talent she'll need to call upon to rescue not just those in danger, but her own critically damaged heart. Length/Word Count: Novella/18,500
