Carola’s life is perfect – or so it seems. Her husband, her

is the same, until the day when she has enough. Without warning she leaves her
home country of Germany to start a new life in the Canadian wilderness.
But she is not equipped to handle the hardships of a lonely existence in a remote cabin. A five-day snowstorm brings her close to her breaking point. Searching for means to survive, she discovers the written confession of the previous cabin owner who wants to clear his conscience by admitting to a terrible sin he committed involving a girl called Rose.
When the storm subsides, Carola begins to ask questions but nobody is willing to talk. Nobody wants to tell what happened to Rose, but Carola becomes obsessed with finding out the truth.
Will Rose finally get justice? If you love mystery and suspense, with an added romance bonus, this new novel by an Amazon bestselling author will keep you turning the pages all night long.

EXCERPT:
It started
to snow. Thick and heavy.
Deep in
thought, she registered the brake lights of the car in front of her a
nanosecond too late. Carola hit the brakes hard, and felt her truck fighting
the slippery road. She managed to slow down enough to avoid crashing into the
rear bumper of the car in front of her, but the right front wheel of her truck
slid over the shoulder, hit the snow bank covering the ditch and came to a
stop.
She moved
into first gear and accelerated again. The truck buried itself deeper. Now both
wheels, front and back, slid into the ditch. Leaning sideways, the truck would
not right itself without being pulled.
Shit. Shit.
Shit.
She hit the
steering wheel with her bare hands.
She
switched the hazard lights on, climbed out of the cab, walked to the side of
the road to avoid oncoming traffic, and pulled out Maria’s cell.
No
reception.
Shit,
again.
Fat
snowflakes danced around her face, seriously reducing visibility and muffling
most sounds. Standing by the roadside was getting dangerous.
A pickup
passed. A guy leaned across the passenger seat, the window slid down.
“Can I help
you?”
