"Survival isn't always fight or flight.
When tragedy strikes, Erin races to the hospital to be by her brother's side—but never makes it. A flat tire on a lonely road. A stranger with a kind smile. A car ride straight into a nightmare.
She awakens in a child's bedroom. Pink walls, glittery drawings, a collection of dolls… and no way out. Erin's captor offers her a mind-boggling proposition: play the part of his sickly sister, and in return, Erin will be freed when all is said and done.
But the truth is far darker than Erin imagines. This house hides many deadly secrets, and she will need to rely on more than basic instincts if she hopes to escape. Because survival isn't always fight or flight.
Sometimes you must play along to stay alive."
"A blizzard's coming—and it's not the deadliest thing on the road.
Missy watches the blizzard approach her roadside motel with a mix of emotions—dread for the dangerous conditions it brings, and an intense longing for the warmth her late husband used to provide on cold nights like this. But for better or worse, Missy won't be alone much longer.
Five unexpected guests are headed her way, desperately seeking shelter from the storm: a mortally wounded young man transporting stolen money, two hired guns hot on his trail with orders to bring the money back, and a young woman and her grandmother on a road trip to put the past behind them, totally unprepared for the perilous detour they're about to take.
The icy roads are treacherous. The neon-red sign is a beacon of safety. But no amount of snow can extinguish this fuse once it's lit—or bury the secrets unearthed in the blast."
