Jordan Blake lives in a house along Lake Erie. She’s a recluse and likes it that way. No interruptions while she’s writing. At least not until an early Lake Effect snowstorm brews up. While she’s on her deck securing cushions and chairs, something along the rocky shoreline catches her eye. A body? Not being one to ignore someone in need, she rushes across the yard. It’s a body all right–a male’s body. Thank God he was alive, but unfortunately, unconscious. After much pulling, rolling and pushing, Jordan manages to get him inside her house.

Both of them are soaked down to their skin. Jordan can’t leave him in his wet clothes, so sets about removing them. The stranger sparks something in her she thought was long dead. Trying to ignore her feelings, she dresses him in an old bathrobe belonging to her ex-husband. Unfortunately, when he comes to, the attraction grows. Jordan tries to ignore what she feels toward the stranger, but his kisses awaken something in her.

To make matters worse, the stranger doesn’t have any idea who he is. For all she knows he might be a mass murderer.
