Retribution — Wanda L. Dyson

Revenge Served Cold Zoe Shefford and Detective JJ Johnson are just weeks from their wedding, so when the reception venue explodes, her dress no longer fits, and her mother collapses and is facing life-threatening surgery--Zoe is too overwhelmed to find out why the Lord is practically shouting warnings at her about trouble and danger. Misreading the signs, she lets her frustration lead to a fight with JJ that ends their relationship. JJ doesn't know whether to chalk Zoe's behavior up to wedding jitters or something far worse but after she steps on his ego and bruises his heart, JJ buries himself in his work--investigating the murder of an undercover officer. And when someone needs to fly to Alaska and bring back their number one murder suspect, JJ doesn't think twice about going. When the bush plane crashes on the edge of a fierce blizzard, JJ is critically injured. Crippling pain, life-threatening wounds, killer cold and hypothermia, hungry wolves and ferocious bears-- and someone determined to make sure he doesn't survive. Can he find the strength to overcome incredible odds and make his way back to the woman he loves? Or is he destined to die on the side of a mountain, in the middle of the wilderness, never to be found? By the time Zoe wades through all the emotions, gets alone with the Lord for direction, and finds out that JJ has walked into a trap, it's too late. His plane has crashed, no one knows where the crash site is, and he's in the hands of a killer. Now Zoe is in the race of her life to find JJ before it's too late. Teamed up with FBI Special Agent Donnie Bevere, she will have to set aside the self-recrimination and guilt to move heaven and earth and find the man she loves.
