GRR Reviews Avalanche by Cambria Hebert

Bellamy had a father... and watched him die at the hands of the mafia. Her testimony put away one of the mob bosses and landed her in WITSEC. She lived alone and quiet for two years, until the mob came for her, but she managed to escape. With nowhere to go, the only place she thought of was Caribou, Colorado, where she fell in love with a boy named Liam, only to be betrayed eight years ago. // Liam is an Olympic caliber snowboarder who is taking it easy after an almost-career-ending injury. Working at his father's resort, he's being groomed for taking over, but his mind can never forget "the girl who got away"... Until he literally ran into her in the resort lobby... Trying to check in without an ID. Liam immediately put her up in a room, realizing she's running from SOMETHING, but she won't share. Keeping it platonic is difficult, but he won't let her get away again. When the mob came for her again, can he protect her?

For romantic suspense, this is actually not that bad, except for the initial premise: why head for a ski resort, when she has practically no money?

NOTE: Good cut-off point, though it also leaves stuff for two more novels as their adventure continues.
