    About this ebook

    Before. There was ordinary life. Now. Every minute is a fight to survive. 

    Cassandra Drews just wants her miserable day to be over. On the heels of a break-up, she agrees to meet up with ex-boyfriend, Nathan, to return his belongings. She knows he's going to plead with her to take him back. Telling him yet again that she doesn't want to be with him seems a horrible nightmare to endure. 

    Until fate offers perspective in the form of a car crashing into the café mere inches from them. 

    In the blink of an eye, the world stops. No lights. No power. 911 doesn't pick up.

    Surrounded by chaos, Cass is torn between tending to the injured or escaping her seething ex. And it doesn't take long before panic and violence erupt on the streets of Portland. Out of options, Cass has no choice but to race home in the hopes of outrunning a looming ice storm. Can she make it to safety before experiencing the wrath of the bitter winter storm? Or will she find herself the victim of far more than the elements in a town thrust into bedlam?
