Vera Calloway wasn’t supposed to be in Maple Ridge. She wasn’t supposed to be anywhere — not since the derailment that killed three people, destroyed her career, and left her name synonymous with negligence in every town along the line. But when a crooked red maintenance flag and a smear of fresh blood appear on the siding just as the last train home bears down through a February blizzard, she has no choice but to step out of the shadows.
The last person she expects to find standing in the floodlights is Cole Decker — the man she once loved, the mechanic who walked away when she needed him most, and who is now wearing the badge of the very corporation sent to dismantle everything she has left to protect.
They have every reason to despise each other. They have exactly no time to indulge it. Because someone is sabotaging the trains, the evidence is mounting, and whoever is behind it has already decided that Vera makes the perfect scapegoat — again.
