Lorelei McCall spent five suffocating years suppressing her adrenaline-junkie spirit to act as the perfect diplomatic spouse for General Lowell Walker. When her alienated young son openly wishes for a glamorous family friend to replace her as mother, Lorelei renounces every marital asset and quietly vanishes into the Himalayas.
Years later, Lorelei commands a premier mountaineering academy as an internationally celebrated expedition leader. When Lowell leads an elite military squadron into her treacherous peaks for highland drills, he discovers the docile homemaker he dismissed has transformed into a fearless master of the mountains. Facing bitter apologies and clumsy bids for reconciliation, Lorelei refuses to bow, forcing her arrogant ex-husband to compete on her terms.
