With a mystery mounting, a medieval fantasy was fast becoming all too real for an unlikely pair

Leo McKenzie was an American investigator tracking a hard-to-find woman through the English countryside. But trailing antiques agent Jennifer Rowan through an impassable blizzard only amounted to a concussion and a developing cold crush.

After finding haven for the detective in a centuries-old monastery, Jenny sought a silent monk who had the answer to recovering the priceless Warley Madonna. But when someone else got him to spill his guts first — literally — everyone stranded in the castle became a suspect.

The two reckless Americans made an imperfect match — and with eyes the colour of whiskey, the headstrong PI was dangerously close to intoxicating Jennifer. But with only each other to trust, the two strangers, in an even stranger land, would have to stop a killer who stalked the frozen hallways if they hoped to weather the storm.
