HOT SNOW sizzles with an unlikely mix of passion-filled men and women, and one lovable dog. Caught in the middle of a chilling snow storm, emotions churn, suspense swirls and their lives will never be the same again, and neither will the holiday-decorated, quaint little town of Hellgate Gorge. Twenty-eight year old Dakota Blackstone, fresh out of prison, vows to build a new life as a quilt shop owner and never return to prison. But the runaway winter storm dumps frigid snow, mystery, and swirling hot passions. Having lost the love of his life, Dakota is now faced with finding her or spending the rest of his life behind prison bars. Hope is thin until an unknown renegade arrives in town. But the risks are plentiful, and hidden agendas bring new fuel to the tangled lives.
