In the intense and exhilarating Extreme Risk series debut, a hotshot snowboarder and a rebel with a cause try to let go of the past-and find a future with each other. Twenty-one-year-old professional snowboarder Z Michaels is the bad boy of Park City, Utah. He's always had his pick of any girl in town-and on the competition circuit. But underneath his cool exterior is a young man in turmoil, trying to take the edge off tragedy by overindulging in sex and shredding the slopes. In fact, Z's rash behavior is a thinly veiled attempt to blunt his emotional suffering with physical pain. Ophelia Richardson isn't like any girl Z has ever met. Though she's from New Orleans, she's no Southern belle-and she's not shy about being miserable in frozen, godforsaken Park City. But after nearly dying in the same drag-racing accident that killed her boyfriend, she needs a place to heal, both physically and emotionally. The last thing Ophelia wants right now is a boyfriend-especially one as rich and reckless as Z. But Ophelia soon discovers that he isn't what he seems. If anything, Z may be even more damaged than she is. Feeling alone in the world, Z and Ophelia find a connection unlike any they've ever known. But their tormented pasts pull them in every direction, forcing their relationship into a downhill slide before it even begins-unless they can find the strength in each other to trust, grow, and love again.

Autorentext

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Tracy Wolff wrote her first short story-something with a rainbow and a prince-in second grade, around the same time she forayed into the wonderful world of girls lit with her first Judy Blume novel. By ten she'd read everything in the young adult and classics sections of her local bookstore, so in desperation her mom started her on romance novels. And from the first page of the first book, Tracy knew she'd found her life-long love. A one-time English professor with over fifty novels to her name, she now devotes most of her time to writing romance and dreaming up heroes. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her family.
