Publisher Description
A novel of betrayal and passion in a frozen landscape far from the city lights, by the bestselling author of All In and Falling . . .
Ambra Vinter dreams of making it to the top of her chosen field. But instead, the beautiful young journalist is sent on assignment to Kiruna, a tiny mining town far north of Stockholm, chasing after yesterday’s news. In December, this is a place on the edge of darkness—and Ambra’s memories of it are just as bleak, for it is where she once suffered at the hands of a brutal foster father. Yet it is here, in the middle of nowhere, that she meets a man who takes her breath away . . .
Tom Lexington has left Special Forces for a career in private security. But he is still haunted by a mission that almost cost him his life—and by the woman who shattered his heart. When he meets Ambra in a café, she brings a promise of light, and heat, to his life—if he dares to let go of all he’s been holding onto.
Now, as Ambra risks looking more closely at her own painful past, and stumbles into a story that’s hotter than she ever expected, she and Tom must decide whether to take a chance on each other and come in from the cold . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
An ambitious reporter and a former mercenary find healing and love in spite of themselves in Ahrnstedt's strong third Only One Night romance (after Falling). Ambra Vinter has never gotten over the abuse inflicted by her foster father, a terrifying evangelical minister in the remote Swedish town of Kiruna. Now she's a journalist at a leading tabloid in Stockholm. The last thing she wants is to return to Kiruna in the midst of sunless winter, even if it's to cover a major sex scandal. Ex-soldier Tom Lexington lives in the woods outside Kiruna, alone with memories of his former girlfriend Elinor and flashbacks to his near-fatal last mission. Despite an inauspicious first meeting, Tom and Ambra bond during a picnic under the Northern Lights and a sexy shared sauna. But before they can commit, they'll need to overcome their painful pasts, including Tom's awkward torch-carrying for Elinor. Ahrnstedt doubles the romance with a love connection between Tom's old friend Mattias and Ambra's foster sister Jill, a pop star. With plenty of steamy sex scenes to warm the Arctic setting, Ahrnstedt's latest will entertain fans of hot romance.
