Chapter 1
"Umm, your room is down the hallway and to the right," Brady said, quietly clearing his throat and pointing awkwardly down a short, dark hallway; the only hallway in the whole house to be exact. Adrian took a deep breath and heaved her heavy luggage to the room on the right where she had to search for the light switch on the wall with her hand. She rolled her eyes, feeling annoyed at the fact that Brady hadn't even offered to help her carry any of her things. In fact, he had said less than three sentences to her since he picked her up at the sorry excuse for an airport and drove her the several miles up into the mountains.
Suddenly, just as she was about to break her back lifting her luggage onto the bed to unpack, Adrian felt the weight come off of her, signaling her to the fact that Brady had finally stepped up his game, what little he had, and decided to help her out. His strength was impressive, but that was about it. He was wearing the same grunge look of flannel shirts and naturally ripped and smudged jeans that he had when he was a teenager.
"Do you want any help unpacking?" he asked, looking like he might keel over if she said yes. Not that it mattered; the last thing Adrian wanted to endure was her stepbrother going through her underwear.
"No, that won’t be necessary. But thank you for the offer," she answered with a shrug, feeling suddenly lost. She didn’t really feel like unpacking, but she didn’t want to be stuck doing nothing, which is exactly what she would be doing indefinitely in that place.
Brady's log cabin sat in the middle of the dense forest on the side of one of the many mountains belonging to the part of the Rockies that ran just a few miles south of Nelway, British Columbia. She only knew that because she had looked it up on the way over. They were nowhere near any known town that she could pick out on a map or in a book. She was sure nothing even had a Wikipedia page for miles, but that was also the reason she was there; the seclusion.
It served her right for getting involved with a man who called himself Wolf. She'd actually been engaged to him having gotten wrapped up in all his charm and his money. He owned several businesses on the west coast, but none of it made up for the way he had treated her over the four long years she had wasted on him. It was when she ended up in the hospital with a broken arm, a cut-up face and bruised ribs that she drew the line. She'd had enough, but she knew he wasn't going to let her just leave. Wolf had spent too much money over the years to buy her affections and company. So, she stayed with her parents for a month until he found her.
Her last hope was her infuriating stepbrother that she had been so sure she was rid of years ago when the two of them moved out of the house. She had put up with him from the age of 14 to 17 after their parents met on some ski trip and got eloped like a couple of crazy kids, and now here she was at his mercy and living in a small log cabin where there was hardly room to breathe. And from the looks of it, they would probably be sharing a bathroom. Actually, she wouldn’t put it past him to have an outhouse instead. With the wind that was blowing snow every which way she was sure her pee would freeze before she could even get to it.
Adrian flopped back on her bed and stared up at the wood-planked ceiling. She had to admit that it was a beautiful place; a pretty one even if she liked that sort of thing, which she didn’t. But she could see the whole loner bachelor appeal. It made perfect sense for Brady, and it would have to be good enough for her until Wolf the jackass gave up on her and found a new toy. She certainly felt sorry for whoever that was going to be.

A buzzing noise startled her until she realized that it was probably her satellite phone ringing. Her parents insisted on buying her one so she could be contacted out there in the middle of the woods, and she wasn't used to the sound yet.
Adrian picked up the phone and answered as cheerily as she could. There was no need to make her father and stepmother suffer; they had always both been great to her.
"Hey, Dad. I made it safely just a few minutes ago. I'm in my room, just about ready to unpack," she informed, trying to keep questions to a minimal. "Thanks for checking on me."
"Woah, not so fast sweets," her father scolded, using the nickname he'd had for her since she was a little tot. "I want to know how things are going with your brother. I know the two of you never saw eye-to-eye, and I wanted to make sure it was all smooth. Plus, we don’t get to hear much from him." She wanted to tell them to join the club, but she didn’t want to seem rude or ungrateful. In truth, letting her stay there was saving her life literally.
"It's okay." Adrian liked to keep her answers simple. She wasn't about to tell them he was awkward and inaccessible. He probably couldn’t help it. It was most likely written into his genetic code.
"I don’t like the sound of that." She could just picture her father narrowing his eyes at her. "The two of you need to get along. It's very important for your safety and happiness."
"Mostly it's the scenery that’s a problem. I mean, there's nothing out here," she whined to him, needing to get at least one complaint out before hanging up.
"You'll get used to it," her father replied with a chuckle.
"Look, I'm exhausted. I'll check back in with you in the morning." She wanted to end the conversation quickly and get the chance to wallow in her misery a bit. If she was going to be out there with nothing to do, then she was going to make use of it. She had to get over the heartbreak of losing a guy that only existed in her head to one that was brutal and abusive as well as to losing modern conveniences for snow and whatever manner of critters might be lurking out in the woods.
She hung up before anything else could be said and curled up in the firm bed next to her belongings. The small alarm clock beside her bed informed her that it was almost ten in the evening and nowhere near time for bed, but the whole house was going dark, and she could hear Brady's own bedroom door shutting.
Sighing, she let her mind wander through all the memories that had led her to where she was now and tried to pretend the howling of the wind was really a flurry of cars driving on the street that ran in front of the apartment she used to live in at the center of Portland. But sleep did not come as she began to toss and turn in annoyance. How was she supposed to relax in such a dark, cold and lonely place like that?
The answer was obvious; she wasn't.
Adrian slid off the side of the bed and unzipped her luggage. It was time to get some unpacking done. It was the only thing she could do.
Chapter 2
For the second night in a row, Adrian could not sleep. The wind wasn't howling anymore, but that just meant it was complete silence. She was so used to staying out late at night and meeting new and interesting people on the rail or the bus. She missed her fully equipped home office where she reclined her feet while answering her emails and using her LinkedIn and her Internet line for her recruiting job, and she missed having her favorite cafe just across the street from her apartment. Most of all, she missed the fact that there were always people around making their presence known on the planet. Out there on that cold mountain it made her feel like her and Brady were the last humans left on Earth.
Of course, she barely saw her stepbrother, so it was possible that it was just her. The only thing worse than having to deal with him was the fact that he was her only company out there, and he minded his own business a little too much.
With a huff, she threw her silk blue and red robe over herself and popped open her door to take a peek down the hall. It was mostly dark except for one small night light plugged into an outlet in the bathroom they shared. She had brought it herself so she didn’t trip over her own two feet.
Adrian could see Brady's bedroom door from where she stood, and it was closed. So, she stepped out and slid her feet along the wood floors until she reached the kitchen and flipped on the light over the stove so she could see. She knew she needed to find a way to relax, so she made herself at home, which was one of the few things Brady had said to her, and she went rummaging through cabinets. She found some chamomile tea bags and a large mug. Luckily, he did have one modern convenience; a microwave. So, she took advantage of it, not really caring if it woke him up. Maybe he would realize he needed to be a better host.
In just a few minutes, she had a huge mug full of piping hot chamomile tea and was headed out the front door. Adrian sipped on the hot tea to quiet her chattering teeth from the effect of the bitter cold as she began to take a walk around his property. She didn’t think it was a big deal if she didn’t stray from the house.
But just as she rounded the backside she saw a dark figure moving in the distance. At first, she thought it was just a tree's shadow swaying with the wind, but then the shape came into view. It was facing south, and as she realized she was only a few yards away, Adrian felt a scream get locked in her throat. There was a huge bear with a dead fish hanging from its mouth.
Not thinking about anything but her fear, she dropped her mug and ran in the back gate, busting into the back door and panting. She was almost sure it had seen her. Could it get in the house? A dozen irrational thoughts ran through her head as she went to look out the window in her bedroom to see if it was still there, but she saw nothing. So, she laid down in bed and found herself thankful that she made it back inside unscathed.
