Body Heat

Two Enemies. One Tent. Zero Degrees.

Kai Arora is the "Ice King" of the climbing world: precise, disciplined, and utterly cold.
Sierra Vale is his opposite: a fearless, chaotic wildfire who climbs for the thrill.

They hate each other. Three years ago, Kai reported Sierra for recklessness, destroying her funding and nearly ending her career. Now, they are back on the same mountain, competing for the legendary Frost Crown. The plan is simple: climb fast, beat the other, and never speak again.

But the mountain has other plans.

When a lethal polar storm slams into the peak, the competition is cancelled, and survival becomes the only prize. Stranded in the "Death Zone" without shelter, Kai and Sierra are forced to do the unthinkable: trust each other.

Trapped in a freezing ice cave with hypothermia setting in, the rivals are given a terrifying ultimatum: share body heat or die.

As the layers come off and the temperature drops, the boundaries between hatred and desire begin to blur. In the arms of her worst enemy, Sierra finds a warmth she never expected. And Kai realizes that the woman he tried to push away is the only thing keeping him alive.

The storm will end, but will they survive the heat?

From author Davis Shyaka Musirikare comes a cinematic, slow-burn survival romance about the thin line between hate and love—and the lengths we go to for the ones we can't live without.
