• Sommario/riassunto: Circles: Book FiveTyler McCall has made mistakes. He was a teacher-before he fell for a student in his school. That misstep cost him his job and everything he'd worked for. He moved to the Black Hills of Wyoming to start his life over, and he's happy working at the Big Rock Inn near Devils Tower.Linden Bourne, a no-nonsense FBI agent Tyler had met before, returns to Wyoming hot on the trail of a killer. The previously unexplored attraction between them grows-which is good considering they'll be spending a lot of time together when a blizzard strands them at the inn. Cut off from the outside world, with no power, they'll need to rely on their wits and each other to survive.Especially when it becomes clear they're not alone-and the danger they face comes from more than the elements.
