Claire Allen has just signed a new contract to star in and lead an expedition - a return to Mt. Everest - on a celebrity reality show. She's still carrying the grief and pain from the last failed climb where her best friend was killed. But she is determined to do this for her own peace of mind and to prove to the world she is still a top climber. 

What she hadn't planned on was supermodel Paul Charbonneau joining the reality show...and being a contender. 

Paul has just finished his runway career and is ready for a new challenge. That challenge is his complicated relationship with Everest climber, Claire Allen, and her quest to climb to the peak again. Paul tries to convince himself it's a great career move, not that he's joining the team because of his long-time attraction for Claire. But even he will admit it's more about the indomitable Claire than the dangerous peak.
