About this ebook

"Edgy, steamy, action-packed, and plotted with nail-biting tension..."—Library Journal, Starred Review

In the harsh Northern Waste where human life is worth little, ice trucker Raina Bowen has learned to keep her eyes open and her knife close at hand. She's spent her life on the run, one step ahead of the megalomaniac who hunts her. All she wants is to stay out of trouble and haul her load of grain to Gladow Station—but trouble finds her in the form of a sexy stranger called Wizard. He has the trucking pass she needs, and she has to drag him out of a brawl with the very people she's trying to hide from in order to get it.

She may have rescued him, but Raina's not foolish enough to see Wizard as anything close to helpless. He's hard and honed and full of secrets—secrets that may destroy them both. As they race across the Waste, trying to outrun rival truckers, ice pirates, and the powerful man bent on their destruction, Raina's forced to admit that trouble's found her. And this time, there's nowhere left to run.

Ratings and reviews

This is a first read from this author and it was a good read. To think this could become the future of we don't pay attention today is horrific. Raina and Wizard's story will always be remembered. Don't miss an opportunity to read this novel.

A fun but dark story. Excellent characters and plenty of action. Really enjoyed it.

I liked a lot of it.
