She tries to reach Dustin for help, but the cell phone failed though Jason did hear a woman whispering for help.  Jason soon realizes it was Lizzy who he knows from high school and thought she was a hot babe back then, but now she is even hotter; he offers to help, but she says no.  However, with the horrific weather so bad, Lizzy knows Cece's needs come first.This is a tense romantic thriller starring two fascinating heroes.  Lizzy's constant rejections of  Jason's offers of help will drive readers dizzy as she makes no sense since he is a professional rescue expert just what she needs at this moment even if she remembers him as Mr. Ass the bane of her high school existence.
