Billionaire. Adrenaline junkie. Risk taker. Except when it comes to his heart. That, Theo Beaumont has never put on the line. Until he meets her. Rachel. The woman who touches something dark and needy in his guilt-ridden soul. She brings a forgotten sense of peace with every longing touch. But even her love may not be enough to save him from the one mistake he can never forgive himself for. Competitive skier. Dutiful daughter. Fraud. At least, that's what she feels like these days. Nothing prepared her for going from Rachel Long, world champion, to underdog struggling toward a comeback. And nothing can get in the way, not even him. Theo. The man who makes her yearn for things she won't admit, even to herself. He calls to her wary heart even as he threatens her most closely guarded secret. Life. Death. Balanced on a razor's edge. Altered in the shiver of a heartbeat. Overcoming the darkness of tragedy will either break them, or show them that some things are worth fighting for-even if what you're fighting is yourself.
