      Chapter One

      Casey pushed her way through the front door of the Iron Mine Saloon, drawing the attention of the clientele cozied up to the bar. She ran her gaze along the length of the bar until it landed on Brian. Shock flashed through his dark brown eyes. It didn’t surprise her at all to find him at the saloon already on a Friday at three o’clock. Drinking all afternoon was what he did in the winter months when laid off from work. Though Casey knew he didn’t want to see or speak to her, she was here for that very reason.

      He cringed at her first step toward him, and his jaw knotted upon her second step.

      Casey, he said through gritted teeth.

      Where is he?

      Brian shrugged, spun on his stool, and took a swig of his beer. Casey caught his reflective glare in the mirror lining the back of the bar. The smug look on his face irritated her. She never cared much for him in the first place, and the past thirty seconds with him only reinforced her feelings for her soon to be ex-husband’s best friend.

      Casey edged her way between Brian and the old man on the stool next to him.

      Dang it, Brian, this isn’t funny. Now, where is he?

      Brian swung his angry gaze in her direction. I don’t know.

      That’s bull-crap. You guys don’t do anything or go anywhere without each other knowing.

      Whatever. Brian shrugged and took another swig of his beer.

      Whatever, she repeated, what are you, two?

      His glare grew angrier. Why don’t you just leave him be? Haven’t you done enough already?

      Me? Me? Are you kidding? He’s the one who didn’t make good on his promise, and you know it, Casey snapped before she could think better of it. On the drive up from Wisconsin, to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, she vowed not to have this same argument with Brian again.

      Casey drew in a calming breath. Brian, please tell me where he is, and I promise this is the last time you or he will have to lay eyes on me. Once he signs the divorce papers, I will never show my face in the U.P. again. Guaranteed. This would not be a hard promise for her to keep. She hated the remoteness of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

      Surprise flashed through his eyes as he spun to face her more directly. What are you talking about? He said he signed those last month when you came up here and ruined his Thanksgiving.

      Well, he lied. He chucked them into the woodstove and mumbled something about being married for life before he stormed off, and I haven’t seen or talked to him since. I had to have my lawyer print another set. And now he doesn’t answer my calls.

      Brian studied her for a moment before his gaze softened. She knew he believed her. He sighed. He’s at camp. Been there for nearly a month. No cell phone reception.

      There’s a big surprise, no cell reception in this godforsaken place. There she went, running off at the mouth again. She couldn’t seem to control herself around Brian, but she knew she better, or she wouldn’t get any help from him. She worked to soften her voice, I don’t know how to get there. Can you take me? His hesitation told her he couldn’t, or wouldn’t, but she didn’t know which. Can you?

      No.

      No. That’s it?

      Honestly, Casey, at this point I wish I could, so I could hold him at gunpoint until he signed those damn papers and rid himself of you forever, but I can’t.

      Why not?

      Have you looked outside lately? There’s three feet of snow, and the roads to camp aren’t plowed. You would need a snowmobile.

      I’ll go rent one.

      Brian shook his head. First of all, though the snowmobile trail heads in that direction, it only goes within a mile of camp. That means you would have a mile of off-trail riding, and with this amount of snow that would be dangerous on a rental, not to mention your limited snowmobiling experience. He smiled slyly, Or does our perfect little city girl know how to ride?

      Noah and I rode some. You know that.

      Yeah, on groomed trails with Noah driving. This would be a different type of ride, not your family Sunday ride. Plus, have you noticed the weather forecast for the next several days?

      Casey shook her head. In her haste to drive to the Upper Peninsula and get the papers signed, she didn’t bother to look at the forecast.

      Brian pointed out the window. Big snowflakes swirled in the wind. He glanced at his watch and then back toward her. "They’re predicting forty mile an
