Cold Rage

Book 8: Cold Justice® - Most Wanted

About the Book

In the remote Montana wilderness, a child has vanished—and time is running out.

When a fugitive accused of murdering his ex-wife disappears into the Montana backcountry with his nine-year-old daughter, FBI Hostage Rescue Team sniper Sebastian Black leads an intensive manhunt, battling snowstorms and brutal terrain in a race against the clock.

National Park Service ranger and search-and-rescue specialist Nora Deacon knows the mountains better than anyone. Alongside her K9 partner, Chance, she’s determined to find the missing girl. Nora is achingly familiar with what can happen when a child falls into the wrong hands.

As the search narrows, Sebastian and Nora are forced to work together in a fight for survival as much as a rescue operation. The closer they get to their target, the more dangerous the situation becomes—and the harder it is to ignore the attraction burning between them.

With a blizzard closing in, a desperate fugitive growing increasingly unstable, and a young girl’s life hanging in the balance, they’ll have to risk everything to bring her home alive—even if it means confronting secrets they’ve both worked hard to bury.


What readers can expect in Cold Rage: a slow-burn, forced-proximity romance between an FBI sniper and a haunted search-and-rescue ranger, a loyal K9 partner, a snowbound survival manhunt against the clock, a wounded heroine with a buried past, and a child-in-peril race through the Montana wilderness.

Content Advisory

The Cold Justice® world deals with serious crimes and romances between the people who solve them. In addition to the suspense, violence, and peril typical of any Romantic Suspense series, Cold Rage specifically includes the heroine’s past — abduction, captivity, and sexual violence experienced as a child — recounted through dreams, memory, and conversation rather than shown on the page. Murder and gun violence, including a crime scene staged to look like a murder–suicide (no suicide occurs), and a parental abduction. Domestic violence and the death of a parent from cancer happen off the page, and a supporting character grieves a spouse lost to the same illness. Characters face explosives, an avalanche, a fall through ice, hypothermia, altitude sickness, and other life-threatening wilderness peril, with working dogs in dangerous situations (no harm comes to any dog). A black bear killed by poachers is depicted, and the story includes trauma responses, panic, and references to therapy, along with explicit intimate scenes and strong language.
