The plane went down. . .and took their love with it.

All Brandon Barlow-Barrett wants is a week away from his family''s newspaper empire, time on the slopes to relax and refocus. What he gets is Lucy Cameron, the most extraordinary woman he''s ever met.

Lucy Cameron doesn''t take vacations. Not until now. Her very first vacation is full of highs--falling in love with Brandon Barrett--and lows--realizing she has to tell him she earns her living as a stripper.

But there''s no time to reveal her secret. On the way back from a day trip to a neighboring Colorado town, their plane''s engine sputters and stops. All they have left is the dangerous peaks of the mountains, a nearby lake for a crash-landing, and Brandon''s last-minute declaration of love.
