land near the bunker she has built into a hillside in a wilderness area in northern Michigan, she sees a car go off the road and turn over in the snow. Fearing that the occupant might freeze to death, Kat rescues the unconscious woman and brings her back to Kat's bunker.

Later, when Kat turns on her computer, she discovers that there is a bounty on her head and there are two takers, one of them is a woman.

When the injured woman awakens, she can't remember her name and tells Kat to call her Jake. Even though Kat is concerned that Jake might be the woman hunting her, as she administers to Jake's injuries, Kat feels drawn to her.

There is good action in this adventure story. Other assassins are on Kat's trail and as she avoids them, she wonders if Jake might be the person she should fear the most.

Both Kat and Jake are likable characters. In addition, the wilderness area in northern Michigan is vividly dipicted. The frigid conditions that exist outside of Kat's bunker provides a good juxtaposition for the cozy atmosphere inside and the warm feelings that develop between Kat and Jake.
