Grant spun Lili into his arms.
“Were the pancakes really okay?” she asked.
“Er….”
“Oh.” She huffed out a long breath.
“They were much better than okay, they were fantastic.”
She grinned. “Right answer.”
Suggestions for an emergency pack for your car when traveling in snow
Staying warm and well hydrated are the keys to survival.
* Mobile phone and charger.
* Drinking water—at least two bottles (eating snow lowers your body temperature). The smaller the bottle the better, in a way, because if they freeze, they’ll defrost quicker.
* Winter clothing and boots—hats, scarves, gloves
* LED emergency beacon
* Long-life food—high-energy bars like chocolate. Rotate it every few weeks to keep it fresh.
* Self-heating meal and spoon
* Thermal survival bag
* Foil emergency blanket
* Rope
* De-icer
* Shovel
* Flashlight—either ones that don’t eat batteries or a wind up one.
* First aid kit
* Light sticks
* Instant handwarmers
Remember, if you’re trapped in your car, you can stay warm by running the engine BUT it’s essential that the exhaust pipe is not blocked by snow. If it is, you could die from carbon monoxide poisoning. Only run the engine for ten minutes in each hour.
Stay close to your car. It’s easy to get lost in a whiteout mere yards from your vehicle. Hang something bright on your car, if you can, to attract attention.

Chosen
Some crimes can never be forgotten.
Kate Evans doesn’t take risks. She chose her apartment with care—a safe district with a good neighbor—a place where she can live a quiet, unassuming, under-the-radar existence. Then she makes one mistake and opens her door to accept a delivery of flowers from a secret admirer and her life will never be the same again. A guy she’s never seen before bursts into her apartment and asks her to marry him. Jack Thompson won’t take no for an answer and drags Kate on a cross country journey to hell.
Invalided out of the police, Nathan Beranson works as a private investigator in San Antonio, Texas where he spends too much of his time following unfaithful spouses and delivering the bad news to their partners. When his fiancée cheats on him with Jack Thompson, the half-brother Nathan’s only just met, he becomes obsessed with Jack in the same unhealthy way as his revenge-seeking clients. By the time Nathan finally realizes putting the ghosts of the past to rest is a wiser option than settling an old score, it’s too late. He’s already been drawn into his sibling’s latest deadly game and Nathan and Kate find their nightmare is only just beginning.
On the Right Track
A 1Night Stand Story
Always driving through life along the straight and narrow, Hollie wants a break from staying within the lines. She hopes a hookup at 1NightStand with a tall fair-haired guy who’s organized and sensible, likes small-breasted brunettes, and can deal with any crisis life throws at him, will jar her from the mundane path she’s been on.
Except what seemed like the perfect plan when she set off, turns into the worst idea ever as the snow falls thickly. Slipping and sliding, her arms numb from clenching the wheel, she becomes frantic to avoid what’s looming in front of her.
Dark-haired Nick is on his way to a party with hopes of connecting with a busty blonde—assuming he’s even on the right road and can dig himself out of a heap of snow before he freezes solid. Too bad he never plans ahead, no coat and no shovel in the car, and soon he won’t even see a road at all, let alone any vehicle barrelling down it.
When two hearts get lost in a snowstorm of what they think they want, can Madame Eve's magic put them back on the right track?
