Hostile Territory

She's the family shark. He's the enemy at the gate. When a blizzard traps them together, the only thing hotter than their hatred is the fire they can't put out. Lila Sterling is the weapon of the Iron Ridge dynasty. As the family's ruthless corporate attorney, she wears designer stilettos in the dirt and shreds anyone who threatens her legacy. Her current target? The Alpine Summit Group, the developers trying to turn her ancestral home into a ski resort. And specifically, their lead consultant, who seems determined to condemn the ranch one environmental regulation at a time. Nate Wilder is a man of science, not corporate greed. He took the job to ensure the development was sustainable, but the Sterling family treats him like a eco-terrorist. His biggest headache is Lila: a stunning, terrifying ice queen who fights dirty and looks good doing it. He knows she's hiding something about the land's water rights, and he's determined to find the truth. When a dispute over a property line survey forces them to ride out to the most remote corner of the Tetons, a sudden catastrophic blizzard strikes. Stranded in a dilapidated line shack with no cell service and freezing temperatures, the courtroom brawling stops, and survival begins. Stripped of their suits and defenses, Lila and Nate discover that the line between love and hate is dangerously thin. But when the snow melts, they have to return to a war where they are on opposite sides.
