Book description
Gilly Soloman has been reduced to a mothering machine, taking care of
everyone and everything except herself. But the machine has broken down.
Burnt out by the endless days of crying children and menial tasks, and
exhausted from always putting herself last, Gilly doesn't immediately
consider the consequences when she's carjacked. With a knife to her
throat, her first thought is that she'll finally get some rest. Someone
can save her for a change. But salvation isn't so forthcoming. Stranded
in a remote, snowbound cabin with this stranger, hours turn to days,
days into weeks. As time forges a fragile bond between them, she learns
her captor is not the lunatic she first believed, but a human being
whose wasted life has been shaped by secrets and tragedy. Yet even as
their connection begins to foster trust, Gilly knows she must never
forget he's still a man teetering on the edge. One who just might take
her with him. Gilly Soloman has been reduced to a mothering machine,
