About

BLACK ICE ROAD
An ISOLATED Series Novel
A Black Cedar Valley Thriller — Book Six

A winter highway.
A stranded victim.
A nurse who stops to help.
And a trap waiting in the dark.

Traveling nurse Elena Vasquez has driven these roads for years. She knows winter accidents happen. She knows people sometimes need help when the snow closes in and the miles stretch too far between towns.

So when she sees the hazard lights flashing ahead, she does what any decent person would do.

She slows down.
A man lies motionless in the road.
Another vehicle already sits pulled over on the shoulder. A woman stands beside it, waving frantically for help.
For a moment, Elena feels relief.
Someone else already stopped.
Then something feels wrong.
The woman is not looking at the injured man.
She is watching Elena.
Waiting.

The moment Elena understands what is happening, it is already too late.
What looked like a roadside accident is something else entirely.

A carefully designed ambush.
Two predators.
Working together.
One distracts.
One attacks.

On an isolated winter highway where cell signals disappear and help can be forty minutes away, Elena is forced into a decision that will haunt her forever.

Run… or stay and risk dying beside the stranger in the road.
She escapes.

But she leaves someone behind.
And she cannot prove they were already dead.
Now investigators want answers. The killers are gone. The body in the road has vanished. Evidence suggests the ambush was staged with terrifying precision.

Worse still, Elena realizes something law enforcement has not yet figured out.
This trap was not meant for one victim.
It was meant for anyone willing to stop and help.
Which means the predators will try again.
And next time, they may be hunting her.
Because one of them survived.
And predators who hunt together rarely forget the prey that escaped.
On the frozen highways of Black Cedar Valley, trust is the first thing that breaks.
Followed quickly by everything else.
