Crimson Snow — Cheri Jetton

Teacher Sara Hansen witnesses a shooting and leaves Detroit to stay in her brother's empty home on snowy Sugar Island, certain she'll be safe in the remote location. Former homicide detective Daniel Leeds hears a shot and races from his cabin to the property next door, where he finds Sara bleeding in the snow. Though local police believe it's a hunting accident, he's not convinced. He allows Sara to recuperate in his cabin where he can protect her, but the arrangement soon begins to feel personal. Though they are drawn to each other, they know their lives are too different. His past has made him a virtual recluse, while Sara is compelled to help inner city youth.

When they're apart, Daniel realizes the cops have made a critical mistake. He's willing to lay down his life for her. But is it too late to save the woman he loves from a relentless killer?
