NOWHERE TO HIDE
Fleeing to Alaska is the only option for Leah Marks after witnessing a murder. Afraid for her life, the legal investigator hopes a remote cabin will be a safe shelter. But the killer has tracked her to Mountain Cove. As he chases her into snow-packed Dead Falls Canyon, an avalanche buries them both. Saved by daring search and rescue specialist Cade Warren, Leah longs to tell him the truth. But how can she, without bringing even more danger into Cade’s life? Especially when they discover the killer is very much alive and waiting to take them both down.
Mountain Cove: In the Alaskan wilderness, love and danger collide
“Are you in some kind of trouble?” Cade finally asked.
Leah turned away. “Why would you ask that?”
“I don’t know. Something about the way you’ve acted since…well, since I pulled you from the snow. Like you’re scared. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? I thought you were staying in the cabin tonight?”
She glanced at him. “I never said I was staying. I asked you to give me a ride back, that’s all.”
“I just want to help.”
Leah sighed. “I know.
“I could take a look at it for you.” Now why would he offer that up—an attempt to snag her?
“No.” Her reply was too emphatic.
He glanced her way, trying to watch her and the road. To his surprise a timid smile broke through.
“Not tonight, that is,” she added. She was trying to be friendly, warm up to him, but still, it seemed forced.
He risked another glance over and caught her eyes—there he saw the truth. She was terrified and hiding something.
Who are you, Leah Marks?

This is how we know what love is:
Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
—1 John 3:16
This story is dedicated to all the true heroes in the world—men and women who risk their lives for others.
It takes many people to write a novel and I thank my wonderful and amazing family first and foremost—my husband and children who let me spend hours far away from them in another world. Thanks to Shannon McNear—you are always there for me! I couldn’t do it without you, friend. Writer friends Kathleen Y’Barbo Miller and Kellie Gilbert assisted me in figuring out my legal matters. I especially appreciate the technical expertise from my new friends in Juneau. I couldn’t have come close to getting things right without the time and detail they offered. Bill Glude of the Alaska Avalanche Center, Doug Wessen, president of the Mountain Rescue Association, and my friend who works for the US Forest Service in Juneau.
If I got anything wrong, that’s all on me, but remember, I write fiction, and I created a whole new town.
