Fire and Ice — Patricia Logan

Thayne Wolfe and Jarrett Evans are a happily married gay couple living their American dream. Their new house, two rambunctious ferrets, and a job they love, make them feel complete. As they walk into work at the ATF the week before Christmas, they're greeted by friends from the FBI. The idea of a joint case sounds good but when they learn the whole group is being sent out of town, Thayne and Jarrett's Christmas plans with family is put on ice.There's been a suspicious avalanche on Mount Shasta, an extinct volcano in northern California. When Jarrett learns that one of two people with any expertise in ATF explosive avalanche training happens to be none other than his husband, he hopes they're in for a week of frigid fun.Tapped for the job as avalanche expert based on training he received over ten years before, Thayne isn't so thrilled. When he learns that his cheating ex-boyfriend will be joining their team, he predicts nothing but trouble.Jarrett isn't looking forward to making a case for a bomber when they can't even find evidence of a bomb. There are a few things that bother him... a dead park ranger, Thayne's handsy ex, and couple of runaway reindeers. He's prepared though... Jarrett's always prepared. Armed with snow gear, guns, and lederhosen, the pair are about to face a case as illusive and blinding as a snowstorm.
