Chapter 1 - The Freezing Highway

The massive blizzard was tearing through the remote mountain highway like a cinematic nightmare. The temperature had plummeted to ten degrees, and a thick, heavy sheet of snow completely buried the dark, deserted road.

Standing on the shoulder of the highway, desperately shivering in the freezing wind, was Alex.

Alex was a fiercely handsome, thirty-something CEO wearing a thin, expensive dark coat over a ruined white dress shirt and a loosened tie. He had no gloves. He had no hat. His face was incredibly pale, and a massive, fresh purple bruise covered his left temple. He was completely, utterly freezing to death.

Just fifty yards away, the warm, neon lights of a rustic mountain diner glowed brightly against the storm.

Alex tried to stumble toward the lights, but his body completely betrayed him. His legs gave out. He collapsed heavily into a deep snowbank, his vision violently blurring into darkness. He was going to die right there on the side of the road.

Suddenly, the heavy wooden door of the diner burst open.

Emily, a twenty-something waitress wearing a green sweater and a bright red apron over her dark jeans, sprinted directly out into the blinding storm. Her dark brunette hair was tied in a messy ponytail, whipping violently in the freezing wind.

She didn't hesitate. She threw herself onto her knees in the deep, freezing snow right next to the semi-conscious billionaire.

She frantically pulled a massive, thick gray blanket off her shoulder and began urgently, desperately wrapping it completely around Alex's shivering body.
