After the demise of her parents, Christy’s boyfriend turns on her, causing her to suffer through an abusive relationship, until she flees. Battered, she wants only to disappear off the face of the earth.
You should be careful what you wish for.
After the single-engine plane she boards is thrown off course and crashes into the middle of nowhere, killing all but one of the other occupants, Christy almost gets her wish. She is dismayed when she realizes her only hope of survival is dependent on a man who appears more soulless than her ex.
Lando knows Christy is following him through the wilderness, thinking he is unaware of her presence. And telling her he is a hit man for the mafia undoubtedly makes her wary. Life has made him hard and tough.
When a violent storm forces the two into a confrontation of wills, they battle more than the elements together in a tiny cave, safe from a raging blizzard, but not their blazing emotions.

Although I didn't like the writing and it took me a little while to get used to, I really enjoyed the story. I found a lot of errors during the book, but nothing really major enough to stop you wanting to read.
The story starts with the Christy out taking photos before her and her boss Sam left to catch their private flight. When they get there, they aren't the only ones on the flight.
Christy has a hard past, her ex abusive which has left her scared and frightened of other men. The only man she is close to, is her boss, Sam.
On the plane Christy has to share with a man -Lando- who is with a detective and wearing cuffs. His eyes frighten her, but he looks to enjoy it.
When the plane goes off track he is the one to try steady the plane and help the small group by telling them to get their heads down.
After the plan crashes the only survivors are Lando and Christy, only he wants to kill her thinking she's out of her league and feels it will be less painful if he puts her out of her misery. Only something about her stops him and instead leaves her alone.
Christy ends up following him through the woods, unaware that he knows she is following him. When he has enough of trying to keep her safe from afar, he takes her under his wing, keeping her fed and warm.
The two become close and soon the chemistry between the two hits an all time high.
From there, I thought the book was going to be about surviving the jungle, or forest until they got back to safety, but the book was more than that.
Lando was under police protection for a reason and his reason was hiding from the boss. Lando is an assassin and when he refused to kill a mother and her two children his boss went a head and ordered the hit anyway, so when Lando found out he went to the police, knowing he doesn't kill the innocent and only the evil.
Lines blur together and soon Christy is in the middle of it all, frightened and barely hanging on.
I really enjoyed the story and will be reading the next one if it's about Wolf. I really liked his character, no matter how angry he got after promising Lando and Christy he wouldn't touch her.
