Small town. Big secrets. Deadly cold.

It's bake sale season in New Hope, and Juli Butler's got her hands full whipping up cookies for the church fundraiser. But when a fire at Oliver's new restaurant reveals a frozen corpse, her plans-and her peace of mind-go up in smoke.

The victim? A man with ties to Juli's late father and questions no one wants answered.

Before Juli can piece together the truth, tragedy strikes closer to home. Just as things begin to thaw between her and Sheriff Chase Hargrave, an "accident" leaves Chase fighting for his life. Suddenly, Juli is juggling small-town gossip, a murder investigation, and the chilling realization that someone will kill to keep the past buried.

As a snowstorm bears down on New Hope, Juli must uncover the truth about her father-and expose a killer who's been hiding in plain sight-before the town's secrets are frozen forever.
