Twelve Across - Barbara Delinsky - Bog

When crossword puzzle creator Leah Gates loses her Manhattan apartment, her friend, Victoria Lesser, offers her a place to stay. Sure, it's a remote cabin in middle-of-nowhere, New Hampshire, but it's a lifesaver for Leah. There's no reason for her to question Victoria's generosity until she arrives during a rainstorm to find the small lodge burned down and in ruins. With nowhere else to turn, Leah makes her way to the closest neighbor, an outdoorsman named Garrick Rodenhiser.
