Buried Affection by Dale Moelker

Is chivalry dead? Not on Culper Ridge. When college sophomore Terri Pimms is injured and buried in a freak avalanche while cross-country skiing on the remote ridge, she miraculously manages to dig herself out but faces near-certain death when hypothermia sets in.  When fellow student Jeff Waters and his trusty St. Bernard Junior find her, what ensues is not just a rescue but also sows the seeds of a budding friendship. The two bond in the most unlikely of circumstances during a 2-day plight that is replete with the entertaining give and take of numerous cultural and musical references, many of which pre-date them both.  Terri ultimately finds Jeff to be a disarmingly humorous and genuinely trustworthy ally. Through it all they uncover an unforeseen but engaging compatibility with intriguing romantic undertones.
