About the book
Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield set off on a road trip to the mountains of Colorado, ready for five days of skiing and the best Christmas break of their lives. Scott Culver is a guy with a broken-down car and a face to die for, whom the twins pick up on the side of the road. He's a medical student with a month-long job at Aspen. Or so he says... Jeff Marks is a young FBI agent searching for the outlaw responsible for a string of armed robberies. Tom Watts, Elizabeth's boyfriend, is waiting for her to show up in Aspen. Instead he finds her face on a list of the FBI's most wanted. Now the twins are running for their lives.
