When Chelsea Tedman's sister dies in an accident on Mount Everest, she extends her bereavement leave from the Intelligence Bureau for International Security (IBIS) into AWOL. She needs to talk Kurt Jellic into taking her up Everest. 

Her sister literally holds the key to proof that may prevent the company their father left them, Tedman Foods, going belly-up, putting thousands of employees in the U.S. out of work. 

And worse, whole towns, as the ripple effect spreads. Used to getting her own way, she finds Kurt a tough nut to crack and is prepared to cajole, beg, seduce even, if it means she'll succeed. 

It's the falling in love part that takes her by surprise.

No way can Kurt let the attraction humming between Chelsea and him become public and invite talk of collusion. Kurt's family already knows the damage whispers and innuendo can do. 

Now, the rumor-mill has him fixed in its sights for surviving the accident that killed her super-rich sister and brother in law. 

But when she comes under threat on the frozen heights of Everest, he's willing to put his life on the line to save her.
