Snow Blind — Kara Lynn Russell

A woman scarred by the past... Spurred by obligation, Robin Spencer drives through blizzard conditions to find the one person she never wanted to see again: Shale Anderson. When her trip turns deadly, Robin's only hope is to trust this man who broke her heart. But can she, when he's more like the dark, reclusive hero in the graphic novels he creates than the caring Shale she once knew? A man in need of forgiveness... Shale Andersen is poison. When the only woman he's ever loved shows upon his doorstep, he'll do anything to send her away. If he doesn't, he will end up ruining her life, or worse, killing her—just like every other woman who's ever gotten close to him. A danger so complete, it threatens to consume them both... Robin's only chance at happiness lies in acceptance. Shale's only chance at freedom lies in forgiveness. Can they weather the storm and begin their lives anew, or will someone with a thirst for revenge destroy their future? Snow Blind was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Snow Queen. Like the hero in that tale, Shale's view of the world has been distorted and he is tricked into following a beautiful but cold woman into imprisonment and enslavement. Like The Snow Queen's heroine, Robin must endure great peril to break the woman's hold and rescue her true love.
