Concise Novel for Nature Lovers

Acclaimed author K.A. Tucker's masterful new romance follows city girl Calla Fletcher's attempt to reconnect with her estranged father, as she finds herself unexpectedly torn between her desire to return to the bustle of Toronto and a budding relationship with a rugged Alaskan pilot.

Calla Fletcher was only two years old when her mother took her and fled the Alaskan wild, unable to handle the isolation of the extreme, rural lifestyle, leaving behind Calla's father, Wren Fletcher, in the process. Calla never looked back, and at twenty-six, a busy life in Toronto is all she knows. However, when her father reaches out to inform her that his days are numbered, Calla knows it is time to make the long trip back to the remote frontier town where she was born.

Braving the roaming wildlife, the odd daylight hours, the exorbitant prices, and even the occasional—dear God—outhouse, Calla makes the journey, all for the chance to connect with her father: a man who, despite his many faults, she cannot help but care for. As she struggles to adjust to this new subarctic environment, Jonah—the quiet, brooding, and proud Alaskan pilot who keeps her father's charter plane company operational—cannot imagine calling anywhere else home. Clearly waiting with one hand on the throttle to fly this city girl back to where she belongs, Jonah is convinced that Calla is too pampered to handle the wild.

Jonah is probably right, but Calla is determined to prove him wrong. As time passes, she unexpectedly finds herself forming a bond with the burly pilot. As his undercurrent of disapproval dwindles, it is replaced by friendship—or perhaps something deeper? However, Calla is not in Alaska to stay, and Jonah will never leave. It would be foolish of her to kindle a romance, to take the same path her parents tried—and failed at—years ago. This simple truth turns out to be not so simple after all.
