Seeking distraction and comfort from his recent losses, Robert heads to France to climb Mont Blanc. As he embraces his new path in life, he meets exotic and beautiful characters who deliver him unwittingly into a life of crime. While on the heels of yet another encounter with an impossibly attractive woman, Robert has no choice but to review his path once again. Will he choose a more conscious life or resort to his old ways of using risky adventures to escape heartache? In this romance novel, an adventurer attempting to forget his painful past heads to France to climb a mountain where he learns that great loss can sometimes lead to great love.
