"Czechoslovakia, 1942: 'Please don't take him,' I plead to the Nazis. 'I love you, Mila,' Ben says, hoarsely. 'So much. Forever.' 'Ben!' I shout as the soldiers pull him away, my heart thudding. 'I love you. Please, come back.' I'm screaming at the top of my lungs as the world turns black around me. In the mountains of Bohemia, Mila, a Romani, works as a maid for an aristocratic Jewish family. They have no idea that she and their son Ben, with his amber eyes and kind smile, are madly in love-it is expressly forbidden. In the arms of one another, Mila and Ben try to forget that their village is close to the German borders-and could be invaded at any second. But as they huddle around a crackling radio, ice runs through their veins as news of the war gets grimmer by the day... Nothing can stop the Nazis from their brutal attack. Nothing can stop soldiers from storming the estate and arresting Ben for no crime other than being Jewish. No amount of Mila's begging can save him as he is shoved into a wagon, bound for a concentration camp. Her heart shattered, Mila goes into hiding. It is only a matter of time until the enemy comes for her. As the SS hunt her down, she knows that Ben will be fighting for his life. Will she ever see her beloved again? And when fighter jets soar through the sky, the air raid siren blaring and the ground shaking, will Mila and Ben's love for one another be the thing that saves them-or kills them?"

"Mommy, wake-up," he cries, pulling at her beautiful blonde hair. She's silent, and her skin is deathly white. Tears roll down his cheeks as he realizes something is very wrong... As snow falls on the small town of Lost Creek, Colorado, a three-year-old boy is found playing quietly in his car seat, his mother, cold as ice, slumped against the steering wheel in front. Tearing herself away from reconnecting with her special agent father who abandoned her for his career, Detective Madison Harper is haunted by the fear in the boy's sky-blue eyes, and vows to find justice for this innocent child, left motherless just days before Christmas. Madison works around the clock on her only clue: a perfect circle of clean glass found on the car's rear window. But she's stopped in her tracks the moment another mother is found dead outside a church during Midnight Mass, her young boy left sucking his thumb on the frozen ground beside her. It can't be a coincidence. The need to spare the children might hint to the suspect being a woman, but the deeper Madison digs, the closer she gets to a serial killer her own father spent a lifetime chasing. Has the killer followed her father here? Could Madison, single mother to a son herself, be next? As a blizzard closes in, wreaking havoc on the investigation, Madison hits the same dead ends her father did all those years ago.
