Damien Gray was born and lived in France despite him having an American father and speaks both languages fluently. He is a Commander in a specialized search and rescue team at Chamonix PGHM for the treacherous mountains whether they be lost or take climbs that are way past their experience.
His son Jamie is his life. Four years ago Jamie's mother showed up on his doorstep with a toddler in tow leaving Jamie behind. It may have been a huge surprise on his part, but he wouldn't trade Jamie for anything.
Tess is Jamie's nanny. When Damien first saw her during their FaceTime interview, he almost disconnected, but something she said had Jamie laughing. Something none of the other applicants had managed to do. She was just too gorgeous with her blonde hair and green eyes and throw in her Oxfordshire accent and he had to keep reminding himself that 1) he was her boss and 2) he was 36 to her 25 and he couldn't disrupt Jamie's happiness.
Tess had to keep herself from gawking at her boss every time she was in his presence. With his dark hair, piercing blue eyes, 6'3" in height he looks like a movie star. She is just glad she is living in the guest house and not in the main residence.
Damien has the best rescue team around and he is grateful for all their experience. Drake, a Canadian, is his 2nd in command and the strongest man Damien has seen. Kat is their pilot. Gael is the most experienced and world-class climber from Mexico City. Remy is a mountain guide and an avalanche forecaster. Hiro is the best dog handler in the world. Jens is the rescue team's doctor.
Tess moved to Chamonix to better her French and finish her novel. Her family was not too happy that not only was she moving to another country, but moving in with a family they didn't know. But, she was glad that she took the chance. She loves her job and especially Jamie.
Damien and the team were on a rescue mission for a man and woman who only one had enough experience to even try, but they were alerted by the lodge when they hadn't returned. Evidently, the man had made special plans when they returned to propose. Luckily, despite their injuries, the rescue went without a hitch.
When Damien returned home he became concerned because Tess should have been back hours ago from her hike with Jamie. Without him asking his team dropped everything to join him in his search of the hiking trail they were last seen.
This book is amazing! It is very well written and the description of the characters, as well as the locale, are done so well that I felt part of this group and could picture the mountains in my head.
This book is high-action and full of suspense and danger. The camaraderie between the team comes through the pages. You know that they will put their life on the line for each other no questions asked.
Circumstances make both Damien and Tess come to the conclusion that their reasons for fighting their attraction didn't matter when there may not be a tomorrow. Their relationship is steamy hot, but it's not all about the bedroom in this book (although that is definitely part of the book.) The danger that follows them is the main focus of this story.
The plot and storyline kept me turning the pages. When Damien is given a life or death choice, what will he do? I cannot recommend this book enough!
