Dear Reader,

I was lucky enough to visit Alaska with my family on a cruise some years back, stopping at a few places along the way to hike, paddle a boat on a glacier lake and be generally awed by the amazing beauty of the rustic wilderness.

I’ve been planning to set a book there for a long time and, for whatever reason, this story called to me and I had to write it. My first Alaskan setting, but probably not my last!

Jake and Rory grew up in a small town near Fairbanks, Alaska, and were childhood friends turned college lovers. After heartbreak struck, Rory couldn’t bear to continue their plan of going to medical school together in Anchorage, and hightailed it to Los Angeles instead. Jake has never forgiven her for abandoning him at the worst time in their lives. Nine years later, Rory has returned, and they must deal with seeing each other again. Reopening old wounds, bringing back memories of how much they’d loved one another once...

I hope you enjoy this story of how Jake and Rory learn to deal with their guilt, resentment, mistrust and the feelings they can’t deny still exist between them.

xoxo Robin
