A remote mountain lodge. A brutal Montana winter. A woman with a hidden past—and an unseen intruder who knows she’s vulnerable.

But the lodge isn’t empty.

From the first night, I hear deliberate footsteps in the hallway. Doors opening on their own. Cold drafts pushing through rooms that should be sealed shut. And someone moving just out of sight—someone who shouldn’t be inside this building.

Rachel, the lodge manager, tells me it’s “just winter settling in.” But her rehearsed smile hides something, and the way she watches me feels wrong. She knows details about my life I never shared. She asks questions no stranger should know to ask.

Then I start uncovering what happened here before I arrived.

A missing woman. A locked room that wasn’t always locked. A violent incident the owners buried to protect the lodge’s reputation.

This wasn’t a job posting.
It was a lure.

Now the snow is too deep to escape, the power keeps flickering, and whoever is sharing this lodge with me is becoming bolder—stepping closer. Observing. Waiting.

And I’m starting to realize I’m not the first woman who came here to hide.
But I might be the last.
