New York Times–bestselling author: In a rugged Alaskan town, a woman who has lost hope and a man in need of healing come to each other’s rescue . . .
She came to Alaska on the promise of marriage, only to find herself on the run from her would-be husband. Lost and alone in the wilderness, Emma Hunter nearly weeps with relief at the sight of a small plane in the distance—until the rugged bush pilot makes his way through the brush to help her. Can she trust this stranger any more than the menacing predator on her trail? But there’s something in John Wolf’s dark eyes that wills her to believe in him, something about his gentle nature that allows her to accept his offer of protection . . .
He’d let her into his life because he knew she was in trouble. The last thing John Wolf expects is to feel so much so quickly for the vulnerable woman in his care. For sharing his lonely wilderness home with Emma means allowing her to see his sorrow—the son he longs to reconnect with, the loss of the family he once dreamed possible. Sharing his heart with Emma means being willing to risk everything to keep her safe . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The thrill outshines the romance in Dailey's newest Americana novel. After quitting her elementary school teaching job and moving to Alaska, Emily Hunter quickly learns that her intended husband, Boone Swenson, is a scary con man. When pilot and loner John Wolf, a recovering alcoholic who lost his wife and his parental rights to his son, sees a woman in distress, he can't just leave her no matter how much he hates getting involved with other people's problems so he saves Emily from Boone and takes her to his cabin. She plans to put a stop to Boone's behavior before he deceives another woman, but John, who turns out to be Boone's ex-brother-in-law, knows how dangerous Boone really is. He decides to stick around and help Emily until he can convince her to go home. There's plenty of action and a snippet of suspense, but there's no flirtation, and John and Emily's romance is tepid until after they confess their love. This imbalanced story will please thriller fans, but romance lovers will feel cheated.
