After years away from Alaska, Scott's back in town, and everybody's wondering if he's here to stay. Especially Chrissie, the girl he left behind...
Now an attorney in Hard Luck, Chrissie is determined to keep her guard up. She has not forgotten his sudden enlistment. Nobody expects him to win her back easily. Certainly not Scott, a confident pilot used to getting his own way.
When an Arctic storm forces Scott to set down on Lake Abbey, the two are marooned in a remote log cabin. Trapped together beside the woodstove, both of them have everything to lose. Above all Chrissie, a cautious lawyer fighting to protect her heart.
