driving around on a day like

    “That’s a damn good question. One I plan on asking my brother when I get back into
     town.”
    “But Avery said…” She broke off and cocked her head to the side. “Did you leave your
     SUV running?”
    Then Ryan registered a second engine starting up. He patted his pocket. The keys were
     still there, but there was no mistaking the sound of his SUV peeling away. “Goddamn
     it!”
    He ran through the cabin, pushing through the front door in time to see the two vehicles
     flying backward down the rutted road, Avery in the driver’s seat of her Jeep, giving
     him a little finger wave as she maneuvered around the corner in reverse like a pro.
    It was official. As soon as he got back into town, he was going to kill his brother.

Chapter Six
    “But this doesn’t make any sense.”
    After a good ten minutes outside, Bri had been forced to retreat to the—marginally—warmer
     cabin. It didn’t look any different than it had the first time she walked through,
     a cozy setup that was used for hunters, based on the mossy oak pattern covering everything
     paired with the heavy wooden features. It wasn’t somewhere she’d choose on her own,
     in part because she wasn’t all that much for camping or hunting or anything that involved
     crawling through the woods in less than ideal weather conditions.
    She was mentally wandering, she realized. Or maybe just avoiding looking at the man
     standing near the door, his arms crossed in front of his massive chest. The man she’d
     practically thrown herself at every time they were within touching distance.
    “They’re coming back,” she said. They had to be.
    “No, they aren’t.”
    She dug through her purse, cold fingers slipping over her phone twice before she managed
     to snag it.
    Damn. She had no cell reception.
    Panic reared its ugly head. There had to be a way out of this. Her friends knew how
     she felt about Ryan—or at least how she told them she felt. But hormones didn’t count
     as feelings, so it didn’t matter if her body was perking up just from being in the
     same room as him. Even though she wanted to go running into the snow and chase Avery
     down, she also couldn’t help but remember how good he’d felt when she threw herself
     into his arms back in the bedroom.
    Granted, attacking him wasn’t her finest moment, but she’d been terrified when she
     heard someone walking through the cabin and they didn’t call out. She was surprised
     she’d had the courage to grab that chair—even if it hadn’t worked out like it had
     for the heroine in the last book she read. Fiction rarely translated over into reality—a
     fact she was all too aware of.
    “Give me your cell phone.”
    Ryan’s brows dropped. “I don’t think so.” He pulled out the phone and grimaced. “You
     know what? Maybe if you see this for yourself, you’ll finally believe that my brother
     and Avery have every intention of leaving us out here.”
    She took the phone in shaking hands, skimming over the text message from Drew three
     times before the words penetrated. Work your shit out. We’ll be back for you on Sunday. Watch out for mountain lions. To make matters worse, his phone showed the same “no service” emblem hers did.
    “No. No, no, no, no, no ! They wouldn’t do this to me! They can’t!”
    “We’ve already covered this. They can and they did. So just relax.”
    “Relax? How can you say that at a time like this? We’re trapped! We’re going to starve
     to death over the next three days.”
    “Yeah, I don’t think so.” He moved around her, keeping a careful distance between
     them, and opened the nearest kitchen cabinet. It was stocked full of canned goods
     and bags of chips. Then he opened the fridge, which was equally full. He pointed at
     a fruit basket in the middle of the kitchen island and frowned as he reached into
     it. “They put some planning into this.” He held up a packet of condoms that had
