What this book is about
Zack Benedict — a Hollywood star convicted of murdering his wife — escapes prison and takes Julie Mathison hostage during a blizzard. She is certain he is innocent; he is certain she will turn him in. What begins as a desperate survival situation becomes something both more complicated and more tender. A contemporary romance from Judith McNaught with more suspense and genuine darkness than her historical work.
